One person killed as bus ferrying mourners to Uganda crashed in Naivasha

Residents of Naivasha were treated to a bizarre incident after a bus ferrying mourner to Uganda was involved in an accident, killing one person, following a disagreement between the passengers.

During the 3 am accident along the Nairobi- Nakuru highway, near Naivasha GK Prison, the casket carrying the deceased crashed on the tarmac, spilling the corpse.

Three people were injured, one of them seriously, as police moved to collect the two bodies of the woman and the man to Naivasha sub-county hospital mortuary.

Incidentally, the trip to Uganda from Nairobi was marred by disagreements, forcing the bus driver to seek police intervention twice along the highway.

According to a relative, Justin Muliwara, the group was heading to Uganda for the burial of their aunt who died in Nairobi following a short illness.

He said that trouble started in Nairobi as the bus was overloaded and the driver declined to leave until all those who were not booked disembarked.
