Police have confirmed that one person has died and several others have been injured following an early morning accident at the Twin Bridge on the Nakuru-Eldoret road.
The crash occurred around 3:30 am when a bus, attempting to avoid a collision with two lorries, veered off the busy highway.
The bus rolled over and overturned into a ditch. The driver and several passengers were rescued with serious injuries.
Emergency responders, including Red Cross officials, are currently on the scene, trying to rescue survivors and provide medical assistance.
The accident happened barely a week after another happened at the same place where 13 people died.
A PSV bus was involved in a multiple-vehicle accident at around 5 am on August 20.
Of the 13 dead, five were women, 7 men and one was an infant.
The death rose after more people were retrieved from the wreckage of the vehicles involved in the accident.
The number of those injured was 55 and were admitted to various hospitals in the area.
The bus, which was headed for Nakuru direction from Kericho, is said to have lost its brakes as the driver negotiated the steep stretch.
The bus rammed into the barriers on the stretch and other vehicles ahead of it before it landed in a ditch.
