The police report stated that the accident occurred when the bus driver tried to avoid hitting a vehicle that had stopped suddenly in front of him.
"He swerved and veered to the left side of the road. The bus eventually came to a rest on the left side of the road, facing the Muhoroni direction," the report read.
The Red Cross said on its X account that it had evacuated all 40 casualties to Fort Tenan Hospital and that four of them had been referred to Kericho County Referral Hospital.
