Mbukinya bus full of passengers rolls off the Kinungi black spot

A nasty accident has taken place at the infamous Kinungi black spot along the Naivasha-Nairobi highway after a passenger bus belonging to Mbukinya Sacco rolled off the cliff.

The fate of the passengers remains unknown although the Kenya Red Cross has already taken up the rescue efforts.

"PSV Bus reportedly loses control and plunges into a ditch near Kinungi along Nairobi-Nakuru Highway. Response teams are at the scene. Details to follow," KRC said in a tweet on Sunday morning.

The area has also been badly affected by foggy weather, further complicating the rescue mission.

Kinungi has for many years been listed as a black spot and has claimed at least two hundred lives in nasty road accidents.

The rates of accidents have, however, reduced since 2016 after the government put up bumps and a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour on the section.
