What started as a peaceful journey for students of Imusutsu High School took a tragic turn after their bus was involved in an accident at the Sirwa Posta area. A bus ferrying students to music festivals was involved in an accident. The bus was reportedly headed to Meru for the Kenya National Music Festival when the accident occurred. Authorities arrived at the scene, and rescue operations are currently underway.
According to trusted sources, 20 students have so far been rescued and rushed to the Jumia Kaimosi Hospital after sustaining minor injuries. So far, no fatalities have been reported. Eyewitnesses said the vehicle veered off the road when it reached a sharp turn, causing it to overturn. Emergency responders, including police officers and local medics, arrived at the scene and assisted with the evacuation of the passengers, including teachers and students who were onboard. The police are yet to issue a statement on the exact cause of the near-fatal accident.
