In a heartbreaking incident, four people, including three students from Dr. Aggrey Boys’ High School in Wundanyi, Taita Taveta County, have died following a bus accident.
The crash occurred on the Wundanyi-Mwatate road, in the Josa area, after the minibus they were traveling in suffered a brake failure. The vehicle crashed at the notorious Josa bend.
The students were on their way home after a second fire incident at their school, which led to the closure of the institution. Tragically, the driver of the minibus also lost his life in the accident. Several others were injured and rushed to Moi Referral Hospital in Voi, with others transferred to St. Joseph Mission Hospital for treatment.
The area leaders led by Governor Andrew Mwadime and Area MP Danson Mwashako have extended their heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. During this difficult time, their thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the brake failure and the circumstances surrounding the crash. More updates to follow.
