Survivors of the tragic crash that claimed the lives of four Dr Aggrey Secondary School students and other two members of the public along the Wundanyi-Mwatate Road have recounted the final moments before the accident occurred and what led to the fatal crash.
The survivors narrated that the accident occurred after the driver of the minibus they had boarded lost control of the vehicle at a blackspot in Josa. This was shortly after the bus experienced a tyre burst before the accident happened, the driver is said to have experienced brake failures, shortly before the vehicle overturned. The two members of the public who perished were the bus driver and a parent who had gone to pick up his son from school after they were sent home.

Preliminary investigations suggested that the dormitory fires could have been caused by an electrical fault, potentially triggered by the ongoing rains across the nation. Thirteen students and an adult were injured and rushed to Mwatate Sub-County Hospital, where they are receiving treatment.
