Narok South Sub-County Police Commander Magdalene Chebet confirmed the incident stating that the accident may have occurred due to poor visibility on the road.

Chebet stated that the driver of the bus reported the incident at a police station in Ololulunga trading centre.

"We are still examining the vehicle and the motorcycle to have a conclusive statement. We are trying to establish what led to the crash since there were no tyre marks on the tarmac as it was raining," she stated.

She has since urged motorists to be vigilant while using the roads to avoid accidents.

A statement from NTSA  in October indicated that 2,689 lives were lost between January 1 and September 30, 2020, compared to 2,655 during the same period in 2019, an increase of 1.3 percent.

The government is enhancing measures to reduce road accidents in the country to curb rising cases of accidents and deaths on the road.

As part of the measures, the government launched the Nurse in Hand Highway Emergency Response Centre at Delamare, Naivasha.

Nurse in Hand is a mobile and web-based accident and emergency response platform that alerts registered paramedics found within the geo-mapped area as well as classified hospitals in case of an accident.
