In a horrific vehicle accident in the Migaa area near Salgaa, eight persons have been officially declared dead and 38 are being treated for various injuries.
A Coast Bus traveling from Kakamega to Mombasa at 4 a.m. on Tuesday was involved in an accident involving an unspecified number of passengers.
Fearing that more bodies might be trapped in the bus’s twisted wreckage, rescue operations got underway Tuesday morning.
Following the morning’s disaster, the Kenya Red Cross said that thirty-six individuals were receiving treatment at Coptic and Molo Hospitals and that it had deployed out response teams.
“Thirty-six injured individuals have been taken to Molo and Coptic Hospitals following a road traffic incident involving a PSV bus and multiple vehicles at Migaa in Molo, Nakuru County,” the Kenya Red Cross said in an X update.
“The Kenya Red Cross, alongside a multi-agency response team, is still at the scene providing assistance.”
