A terrible crash killed thirteen people yesterday on the road between Kericho and Kaplong. Eleven more people suffered bad injuries when three cars smashed together. Police officer Michael Muchiri said it happened at about 3:30 in the afternoon. The crash involved a big truck, a small bus, and a Mazda car. Doctors rushed to help the hurt people at Kaplong and Kapkatet hospitals.
Police teams came fast to clean up the wreck and figure out what happened. Kenya has seen many deadly crashes lately on busy roads. Just a day before, fourteen people hurt themselves badly when a bus crashed in Mombasa County. The Tahmeed Bus lost control and hit another car full of people at Kibarani. All those hurt people went to Coast General Hospital for help.
Desmond Owinga rode on that bus and lived to tell about it. He heard a loud noise that made him look up from his phone. Many riders tried to escape through doors and windows after the crash. He said he saw both the driver and other people thrown out of the bus during the crash. The bus company later said their driver hurt himself but nobody died that time.
Another awful crash happened on Wednesday morning with a small bus full of students. Four people died when a school bus from Ober Boys Boarding School hit a sugar truck. This happened in the Kibwon area as the kids traveled toward Kisumu City. Nineteen students suffered injuries from that crash. Three students lost their lives during that terrible event.
The police keep asking drivers to be more careful on these dangerous roads. They want everyone to follow traffic rules and stay alert behind the wheel. Passengers should always watch for drivers who speed or act unsafely. These crashes cause huge pain for many families across Kenya. Most of these terrible accidents could be avoided if people drove more safely.
