Accident scene
Speaking at the scene, Provincial Traffic Enforcement Officer Ms Mary Omari said the accident occurred a few minutes to 5pm at a time the bus was carrying 19 passengers from Nakuru town towards Eldoret, while the lorry was heading to Nakuru from opposite direction.
The accident occurred at Migaa along the Nakuru-Eldoret highway. Ms Omari warned drivers against speeding especially along the busy highway insisting the accident could have been avoided if the lorry driver slowed at the steep section of the road.
“It is sad to lose innocent lives because of personal negligence and I urge drivers to remain extra careful when using our roads,” she appealed.
Emmanuel Omondi among the area residents to arrive at the scene soon after the accident occurred said the driver of the lorry lost control of the vehicle while descending a hill and collided head on with the bus.
