July 25 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Around 30 people have died after a bus fell off a bridge over the Nithi River in Kenya’s Tharaka-Nithi county, located in the center of the country, authorities confirmed on Monday.
County Commissioner Nobert Komora has indicated that 33 people have died and ten have been injured, including several in critical condition, although one of them died shortly after, bringing the dead to 34, as reported by the Kenyan newspaper ‘ TheStandard’.
Likewise, the commissioner of the Eastern region, Evans Achoki, has indicated that the travel documents of the bus, which covered the route between Mombasa and Meru, reveal that 45 passengers were in the vehicle, without the causes of the event being known at the moment. .
Preliminary information suggests that the driver lost control of the bus after a brake failure, although investigations are still ongoing. “I want to ask all drivers to be very careful on this road,” Komora warned.
