Latest reports indicate that three pupils have been confirmed dead in the Saturday evening accident.
The accident that involved a school bus belonging to Maadili school kindergarten from Thika town in Kiambu county occurred around 6 pm as the learners were travelling from Nyeri county
According to Murang'a County Police Commander Kainga Mathiu, the bus had 35 pupils, two drivers and three teachers at the time of the accident.

Two pupils who suffered serious injuries are currently in the hospital's ICU while the rest, including the teachers and drivers, are being attended to.
