Survivors say a bus driver ignored all their pleas to slow down before a deadly wreck. People injured in the crash on the Karai to Naivasha road blame reckless speed for the accident that killed at least nine, including two children. One survivor stated from a hospital bed that passengers repeatedly warned the driver to no avail, criticizing the transport company Greenline for using only one driver on long routes.
The collision happened in a known high-risk zone during heavy traffic flow toward Nairobi. Police confirmed the area struggles with chronic speeding and congestion. The accident involved a bus traveling from Nakuru to Nairobi and a matatu going the opposite direction. Seven died immediately, with two more succumbing later in the hospital. Multiple injuries were treated at Naivasha District Hospital.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause, which could lead to legal action.
