Fifteen people are reported to have sustained injuries after a bus they were traveling in overturned at Mbuyuni, near Voi town.
Confirming the incident, Voi OCPD Joseph Chesire said the accident may have been caused by the slippery road following the morning showers in the area.
Chesire said the Dreamline bus lost control and veered off the road before overturning.
Those injured during the Thursday 4.45 am incident were taken to Shelter of Hope Hospital and the Moi Referral Hospital in Voi.
He cautioned drivers plying the Nairobi-Mombasa highway to be vigilant, warned Public Service Vehicles (PSV) drivers against operating while fatigued.
“We urge drivers to be careful and observe traffic rules. If the driver is tired and sleepy he should rest before continuing with the journey,” said Chesire, as quoted by The Star.
