Wreckage of the Modern Coast bus that plunged into River Nithi on Sunday. [George Kaimenyi, Standard]

"With the child in my bosom, I prayed, beseeching it to live….The child was, however, sadly pronounced dead on arrival." 

These are words of the Nithi bridge accident eyewitness as narrated to The Standard newspaper. The eyewitness describes the gory scene at the bottom of the Nithi River where a Modern Coast bus travelling from Meru to Mombasa veered off the road and plunged 40 metres below the bridge.
