Two people died, with others having sustained severe injuries after a passenger bus and trailer collided.

The bus belonging to Mash Cool was en route to Malindi from Nairobi when it crashed into the Mercedes Benz truck near the Taru Town Center.

Preliminary investigations established the driver of the trailer could not keep to his lane, prompting the bus to veer off the road in a bid to escape it.

The cabin of the truck was wrecked following the impact of the collision, with the bus, equally wrecked, overturning beside the road.

The Red Cross had earlier confirmed in an update that 19 people were severely injured.
