Two people died on Saturday night while others were injured following a road accident after a bus collided head on with a truck in Migori County.
A woman died on the spot while a man died while being taken to the Kisii Level Six Hospital for treatment.
The two were among members of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church coming from a function in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County.
The bus, belonging to Mukuyu Mixed Secondary School, and which was carrying the church members, collided with the oncoming truck at Kuja bridge in Rongo Sub County at 7.30pm.
Migori County Police Commander David Kirui said it was by good luck that none of the vehicles plunged into the river underneath the bridge.
He said bus had 54 passengers on board.
Passengers who sustained injuries were taken to Rongo and Awendo hospitals for treatment.
The drivers of the two vehicles were among the injured, Mr Kirui said.
Mr Kirui said the accident could have been caused by the narrow tarmac road.
“We will interrogate the two drivers to tell us exactly what happened,” he said.
