Grisly Nakuru-Narok Highway Accident Kills One, Three Injured
At least one person has died, and three others are in severe condition after their automobile was involved in an accident.
The tragedy occurred on Saturday, December 14, along the Nakuru-Narok Highway, when the car lost control and collided with an oncoming bus.
According to a police report, the accident happened about 4 a.m. when the Toyota automobile lost control and drove off its lane, hitting the bus, which was full of passengers.
The police further disclosed that the bus was traveling to Nakuru while ferrying approximately 34 passengers, while the personal car was en route to Narok town with four passengers on board.
According to police sources, the deceased, a female, died on the scene, while the remaining victims were brought to the hospital in critical condition.
However, no one on the bus was wounded. Meanwhile, the dead were transferred to the Narok County Hospital mortuary for preservation and identification.
The early morning accident caused a massive jam along the ever-busy highway, forcing cars to seek alternate routes.
Nonetheless, police officers who were actively involved in removing the car wreckage from the scene towed the two cars, including the bus, to the Ololulunga Police Station for investigation.
