NTV reports that the bus hit a trailer from behind, causing the front part to be completely destroyed.
“We were leaving Nairobi for Busia, but at Naivasha, another driver took over the bus. He was speeding, chewing, and concentrating on his phone. Ahead of him was a lorry with a lot of luggage, and as the lorry was trying to overtake, they collided,” said a lady survivor.

3 Killed in accident in Londiani
In January 2025, a tragic accident occurred along the same Londiani-Muhoroni road and sadly resulted in three people losing their lives.
The crash involved a Dreamline bus that was travelling from Mombasa to Busia and left at least 40 passengers seriously injured.
Apparently, the bus lost control while negotiating a bend and skidded off the road, then landed on its left side; painful photos taken at the area showed severe damage to the vehicle. Police at the scene arrested the driver, while the bodies of the deceased were taken to the mortuary for post-mortem examination.
