One student and an adult died following an accident that occurred on Monday night at the Mamboleo area of Kisumu.

According to eyewitness reports scores were injured as the bus travelling from Kakamega to Nairobi skidded and overturned while negotiating a roundabout.

“It had drizzled in Kisumu and the road was slippery,” the eyewitness told DalanewsKe, adding “the driver lost control and the bus skidded before overturning.”

The student was confirmed dead on the spot while reports from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital indicate one of the injured rushed to hospital by first responders was declared dead on arrival.

Most of the passengers were identified as students of Chavakali High School in Western Kenya who had just closed school and were going for holidays.
