Three people have been seriously injured after a passenger bus lost control and veered off the road along the Migori Isebania bypass.

The three were rushed to Migori referral hospital for treatment.

Several passengers, including minors, were also left with minor injuries following the accident.

The bus from Climax Coaches Company was headed for Kehancha town from Nairobi via the newly constructed bypass outside Migori town before the accident occurred.

According to eyewitnesses, the bus descended and negotiated a sharp corner on a steep part of the road at Kawa trading centre before it lost control and rammed into nearby business stalls.

No passenger death was reported at the scene of the accident, even as police suspect that the driver of the bus was not familiar with the new route.

The 63-seater bus is among other PSVs and Private vehicles that were avoiding passing through Migori town where demonstrators had blocked the Kisii Isebania highway heeding the 2nd May countrywide demonstrations call by Azimio la Umoja One Kenya alliance.
