Four people, including a minor, died on the spot, and several others were injured after a Dreamline bus veered off the road and crashed into a ditch in the Kapcheplanga area on the Londiani-Muhuroni road in Kericho.

The bus headed towards Busia from Mombasa, was involved in the accident around 4:20 am on Saturday.

Londiani OCPD Agnes Kunga said while the exact cause of the crash is yet to be determined, initial investigations suggest the driver lost control of the vehicle while negotiating a corner. "One female, one male, and a child lost their lives in the crash.

The injured were rushed to Londiani Sub-County Hospital for treatment," Kunga said.
