Seven people die and 30 others others injured in a grisly road accident involving a trailer and crown bus at Hill top area in Timboroa along Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.

The morning accident occurred after crown bus rammed into a trailer as it was trying to overtake another vehicle.

The area Police boss Agnes Kamau said the bus was travelling from Mombasa to Kakamega and it had 30 passengers on board.
