At least 10 students have been reported dead following a school bus accident involving a bus belonging to St Mary’s Nyamagwa Girls High School in Kisii. The students were celebrating the arrival of their new school bus when the accident occurred.
The accident happened along the Itumbe-Igare road off the Kisii-Kilgoris road as the students were returning from a short trip to the nearby shopping centre to celebrate acquisition of the new vehicle.
Witnesses say some students perished on the spot, while police put the number at five. Casualties were rushed to Nyamache Sub County Hospital and Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital.
The accident happened right at the spot where another school bus killed over 13 students headed for school games a few years ago.
