Nicholas Rono said the bus was speeding at a corner when it collided head-on with the Nissan.

"The that has sent hundreds to graves. The road is narrow with sharp corners," he said.

Locals said they had unsuccessfully petitioned the government to expand the road.

Molo base commander Moses Nderitu could not be reached for comment but a

police officer who did not want to be named said those injured were taken to Nakuru Provincial General Hospital.

The accident occurred at the place where more than 130 people were burnt to death while siphoning petroleum from a tanker.
