Twenty nine people suffered minor injuries on Sunday morning after a Mombasa bound bus collided head-on with a trailer at Maungu, Voi along Mombasa - Nairobi highway.
Taita OCPD Samson Kine said preliminary investigation indicated that the incident happened after the trailer attempted to overtake a car.
“The driver of the trailer lost control of the vehicle on overtaking the car and hit the bus which was heading to Mombasa at around 5am,” said Mr Kine.
He said those injured were rushed to Voi District Hospital by good Samaritans.
