Several people were injured after a bus they were travelling in overturned at Magina on Sunday.
The passenger bus lost control and overturned at Magina, just before Kijabe along the Nairobi - Nakuru Highway.
Those injured were rushed to Kijabe Mission Hospital as police cleared the scene.
Police spokeswoman Resila Onyango said the scene has been cleared and traffic is flowing smoothly.
This comes as more Kenyans continued to travel upcountry for the Christmas festivities.
This has seen passengers spend hours on the busy Nairobi- Nakuru Highway due to heavy traffic.
In November, the National Transport and Safety Authority announced a Licence Revalidation Exercise for motor vehicle operators beginning November 22, 2024.
The exercise is part of ongoing efforts to ensure road safety and address pressing issues in the transport industry.
The NTSA estimates that approximately 3,000 people lose their lives in road accidents every year, highlighting a serious public safety concern.
Many of these tragic incidents occur on weekends, during festive seasons, and on public holidays, when traffic volumes are typically higher.
Moreover, the hours between 5 PM and 8 AM are considered peak times for accidents, as the combination of reduced visibility and increased fatigue can significantly impair drivers' judgment.
