Controversial Bishop Gilbert Deya died yesterday while 30 university students were injured, 15 of them critically following a tragic accident involving three vehicles along the Bondo-Kisian road.
The accident occurred at Namba Kapiyo area in Seme-Sub County of Kisumu and involved a bus belonging to Moi University, a Toyota Fortuner belonging to the County Government of Siaya and Deya's Toyota Noah.
According to Nyanza Traffic boss Peter Maina, Deya was driving from Kisian towards Bondo when his vehicle lost control and rammed into the university bus, which was on its way to Kisumu.
Maina said the driver of the university bus that was ferrying students swerved to avoid a head on collision but lost control and rolled.
