At least 14 people were confirmed dead on Thursday after a Pwani University bus collided with a matatu at the Kayole Bridge on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.<\/p>\n

\n

Naivasha Deputy County Commissioner Kisilu Mutua confirmed this\u00a0number of fatalities but said more bodies could still be in the bus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“That is the latest figure but the number\u00a0could be higher. I am still getting updates from traffic officers and hospital authorities,” said the administrator.<\/p>\n

\n

Pwani University Deputy Vice Chancellor James Kahindi said\u00a0students were heading to the Chepkoilel campus for a national sports event when the accident occurred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prof Kaindi\u00a0said two buses left with\u00a0120 learners,\u00a0four\u00a0drivers and one sports officer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The students left the school this\u00a0morning and on reaching Naivasha, they had an accident. We have asked\u00a0our chief security officer, who was in Nairobi on official duty, to go there and give us more information so we can\u00a0inform the public. We are in Kilifi, relying on information from other people,” he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Both the bus and the matatu were heading towards Nakuru.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eye witness Ruth Wambui said the bus driver lost control of the vehicle\u00a0after hitting the\u00a0matatu that was joining the main road after picking up a passenger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The bus driver hooted continuously, with the vehicle moving at high speed,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another witness, Simon Njoroge, said the brakes of the bus failed during a steep descent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The bus hit the matatu\u00a0twice from the rear end before it landed in a ditch by the road,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was a chaotic scene at the Naivasha sub-county hospital as medical personnel attended to the injured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Azimio coalition leader Raila Odinga was among those who sent a condolence message following the accident.<\/p>\n
