Four
people died on the spot during the 7:30 am incident, while six others
succumbed to their injuries at the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa
where they were taken, St Johns Ambulance said.
St Johns Ambulance said helped to transfer casualties to hospitals in Mombasa including the Aga Khan Hospital.
The
accident occurred when a bus carrying Presbyterian Church of East
Africa (PCEA) youths to Nairobi from a conference in Ukunda, Kwale
County collided with a trailer heading to Mombasa.
Some
of the passengers who survived the accident said the bus driver was
trying to overtake another vehicle when it collided with the trailer.
The bus driver is among those who died on the spot.
Most
of the injured were taken to private hospitals in Mariakani due to the
current health workers' strike in public hospitals countrywide.
Others
were referred to hospitals in Mombasa, including Aga Khan Hospital and
the Coast General hospital, while others asked to be transferred to
Nairobi to seek treatment.
