While it remains unclear whether the bus was ferrying students, no casualties were reported by Thursday afternoon.

The accident follows a more tragic incident that occurred along the Kisumu-Busia highway in Sirwa Posta, Vihiga County, when a school-owned bus carrying students and teachers lost control and overturned at the side of the road.

From the incident, at least 25 people lost their lives, while scores of others were left nursing serious injuries.
