Thirty people have been killed and several others injured when a bus collided with a truck on a road in central Kenya, the country’s president confirmed Sunday.
„The President said it was unfortunate that many Kenyans have continued to lose their lives in road accidents, which can be avoided,“ the statement read.
Twenty-eight bodies had so far been recovered from the bus wreckage as well as the body of the truck driver, according to the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC).
Rescue operations continued at the scene of the accident, with injured passengers transported to Molo Sub-County Hospital and Nakuru Level Five Hospital for treatment, KBC reported.
President Kenyatta wished the injured a quick recovery and called upon drivers to be vigilant on the roads over the holiday period.
„Let us all be responsible this festive season, and more so, those of us who are driving,“ Kenyatta said, according to the statement.
