Several students from Pwani University were injured, while fourteen others are feared dead in a road accident on Thursday, March 30, when the bus they were traveling in overturned on the Nairobi-Naivasha Highway in the Kayole area.
The bus was carrying over 30 students on their way to Eldoret to participate in a sports competition.
The accident occurred after the bus collided with a 14-seater matatu before overturning. Students traveling in the bus were seen helping each other out of the wreckage following the incident.
