Four students are among six people who were Saturday February 1 killed in an accident on the Wundanyi-Mwatate road in Taita Taveta County.
Police said the four students are from Dr Aggrey Boys’ High School in Wundanyi constituency, Taita Taveta County and were killed after the bus they were travelling in was involved in an accident.
The accident occurred in the Josa area on the Wundanyi-Mwatate road, police said.
Police said this happened when the minibus they were travelling in suffered brake failure and crashed at the dangerous Josa bend.
The students were returning home after a second fire incident at their school, which forced the school administration to close the institution and send students home.
The cause of the fire is yet to be known.
The driver of the minibus and a parent who had gone to pick up their child from the school also died in the accident, police said.
The survivors were rushed to Moi Referral Hospital in Voi for treatment, with others taken to St. Joseph Mission Hospital in Voi.
