More Details Emerge as KU Student Recounts Last Moments Before Accident

He detailed that the bus driver was driving in the wrong lane before he spotted the trailer approaching at high speed from the opposite side, he however, attempted to get back on his lane to avoid a head on collision.

Felix Onyango says that when the bus driver was caught on the wrong side, he attempted to switch on his lane only that there was limited space to allow the bus fit in his attempt to get back on his lane.

The trailer driver had nowhere to fit and he was not given much time to react thus swerved towards the direction of the bus which led to the heavy truck ramming into the bus’s rear end.

This tragic collision led to the death of 11 students while several others sustained serious injuries, others were airlifted to hospitals within Nairobi for specialised medical attention.

Another student survivor who sustained hand injuries added that some students who did not have their seat belts on were thrown outside resulting in neck, leg and hand injuries.

He stated,”Some were thrown out at high speed and I do not know if they made it or where they are. The heavy rain impaired the driver’s vision but he was also speeding.”

Kenyatta University has since suspended learning for three days starting Wednesday 20th March to mourn their fellow students.
