The first aid and health agency reported that among the injured was a child.
“Three people, including a child, were injured this afternoon following a road accident involving a bus and a truck in Soweto along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway,” part of the St John Ambulance statement read.
The staff of the organization in Kinungi arrived immediately to save the victims and provide them with first aid, among other measures.
Those seriously injured were immediately transferred to Naivasha Sub County Referral Hospital for further treatment.
The cause of the accident had not been confirmed at the time of publication.
