At least one person has died and three others were injured after a City Shuttle bus lost control and collided with multiple vehicles on Monday morning, March 9.
The accident occurred near the Pan-Afric Hotel along the busy Valley Road, temporarily disrupting traffic. Preliminary reports and witness accounts indicate the bus lost its brakes before veering into oncoming traffic and hitting three vehicles, causing significant damage.
“We had an accident today, whereby a City Shuttle bus lost control because its brakes failed and rammed into three vehicles. One person is deceased and three are injured. Everyone else is safe, apart from a motorbike rider who was dragged a long distance,” a witness said.
Police and emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to assist victims and restore traffic flow. The bus has since been towed for investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
Valley Road has a history of frequent accidents involving public service vehicles (PSVs). In October 2025, a Citi Hoppa bus lost control and toppled near the Serena Hotel, highlighting the road’s continuing safety challenges.
This incident comes just hours after the Ministry of Health reported three fatalities and 19 injuries from a separate accident in Otonglo, Kisumu County. The Ministry clarified that the Health CS’s motorcade was not involved, though the Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale personally assisted at the scene.
Authorities continue to investigate both accidents as part of broader efforts to improve road safety in Kenya.
