A Guardian bus carrying students has been involved in a road accident at Kimende, along the busy Nairobi–Nakuru highway, sparking concern among parents and the wider public.
According to preliminary information, the incident occurred moments ago under circumstances that are yet to be fully established. The bus, which was transporting students, reportedly collided with another vehicle near the Kimende area, a stretch of road known for heavy traffic, careless driving and frequent accidents. The impact caused panic among passengers and bystanders, prompting an immediate response from other motorists and local residents.
Emergency services, including police officers and medical personnel, have rushed to the scene to manage the situation and offer assistance. Some of the students were seen being attended to by first responders as efforts to assess injuries and secure the area continued. At this stage, the exact number of students on board and the extent of injuries, if any, have not been officially confirmed.
Parents and guardians whose children may have been traveling on the Guardian bus are urged to remain calm but to urgently reach out to school authorities, transport managers, or relevant emergency contacts to confirm the safety of their children. Authorities at the scene are also working to account for all passengers and ensure those requiring medical attention are transported to nearby health facilities.
Traffic along the highway has been partially disrupted as police divert vehicles to allow rescue operations and investigations to proceed smoothly. Motorists have been advised to exercise caution when approaching the area and to cooperate with law enforcement officers.
This is a developing story, and details remain sketchy as officials continue to gather information. We will provide updates as soon as more facts emerge regarding the cause of the accident, the condition of the students, and any further official statements from the authorities.
