Three people have been confirmed dead following a tragic road accident involving a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) bus along the Londiani-Kisumu highway on the morning of Saturday, January 11.
According to a police report seen by City Mirror, the accident involved a Dreamline bus heading towards Kisumu from Londiani. The bus, which was ferrying 44 passengers from Mombasa to Busia, lost control while negotiating a sharp bend, causing it to overturn and land on its left side.
Preliminary reports indicate that the driver of the bus lost control of the vehicle, leading to the crash.
Tragically, two adults and one child lost their lives at the scene. Several other passengers sustained serious injuries and were rushed to Londiani Sub-County Hospital, where they are receiving treatment.
Photos seen by City Mirror showed the overturned bus with extensive damage on one side as first responders worked to rescue trapped passengers.
Traffic officers arrived promptly at the scene to assist in the evacuation efforts and secure the area. The bus driver, who survived the crash, is currently in police custody and is being interrogated as investigations into the incident continue.
This accident adds to a growing list of road crashes in 2025 that have resulted in fatalities and injuries.
Just last week, two people died, and several others were injured in a head-on collision along the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway on Sunday, January 5. The collision occurred near the Prison Bridge in Naivasha between an Eldoret Shuttle Nissan matatu and a Nairobi-bound bus.
Road safety advocate Sikika Road Safety commented on the recurring issue of head-on collisions, stating, “Let’s have an open conversation this year. Is head-on collision avoidable?”
The organization emphasized the need for increased awareness and stricter enforcement of traffic rules to prevent further loss of lives.
Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution, especially along dangerous sections of the highway, to reduce the number of road accidents.
