Three people killed, 41 others injured after Dreamline bus crashes in Londiani

Three people were on Saturday morning killed while 41 others sustained injuries in a traffic accident at Nukiat area on the Londiani-Muhoroni road.

The crash occurred after the driver of a Dreamline bus carrying 44 passengers en route Busia from Mombasa lost control while negotiating a corner at Londiani.

A police report seen by Citizen Digital indicated that one male passenger, a female and a child were confirmed dead on the spot.

“The said bus was being driven from Mombasa via Londiani Junction towards Siaya (Fort Victoria). Upon reaching the accident scene, the driver, Abdalla Masen Mohamed, lost control of the vehicle while negotiating a corner, causing it to land on the left side of the road as one faces Muhoroni direction from Londiani,” read the report.

Those injured were rushed to the Londiani sub-county hospital with some in serious condition and others nursing minor injuries.

The bus has since been towed to the police station pending inspection while the driver was treated and released and is being interrogated as investigations into the incident continue.
