At least 36 people died in yet another grisly road accident at the notorious Migaa blackspot on Sunday morning after the bus they were travelling in collided head-on with a trailer.

Kenya Redcross tweeted that 18 passengers who were injured in the accident were rushed to Nakuru Level Five Hospital and Molo Sub-County Hospital for treatment.

"Our ambulance teams responded to the scene and evacuated 18 casualties to Molo and Nakuru hospitals. The accident involved a lorry and a bus. More rescue efforts continue."

Among the dead are 34 passengers who were aboard the ill-fated bus belonging to Matunda Bus while the other two are the driver of the trailer and his loader.
