Barely hours after Kisii accident that claimed 8 lives of university students, three more have died in another road accident along Mombasa road near Kibwezi.
The accident involved a Channia bus going to Nairobi and a lorry.
Confirming the incident, Kibwezi Sub-County Administration Police Commander Albert Hama said that the bus had a head-on collision when it tried to overtake another Nairobi-bound vehicle.
"We confirm that two people have died on the spot and about thirty-one others have sustained injuries; some of them critical and are undergoing medication in Makindu and Kibwezi hospitals," Mr Hama told Nation.
According to information from the hospital, another person died while undergoing treatment, bringing the number to three.
The drivers of the two vehicles were however discharged after treatment as they did not sustain serious injuries.
