SHOCKING: Nyamira Express Buses Collide Near Keroka Town As The Drivers Tried To Greet Each Other

Five people have been killed on the spot after two buses belonging to Nyamira Express company collided near Keroka, about 30 kilometres from Kisii town.

Traffic Commandant Samuel Kimaru said the five died on the spot while several others were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. Among the dead was the driver of the bus that was ferrying passengers from Kisii to Nairobi.

Mr Fred Ndubi, an eye witness who was walking to his home when the incident occurred said that one of the bus drivers tried greeting his colleague in the other bus, when he lost control of the vehicle.

“He tried greeting his colleague by hooting first before leaving the steering to wave his hand through the window when the vehicle ripped off part of the other bus,” he said.

The number of fatal road accidents have been on a steady rise in the recent past raising fears of a lapse in enforcement of traffic regulations.
