By the time of this publication, the National Police Service had not issued a statement regarding the accident. Moi University had also not responded to the incident.
However, the accident slightly disrupted traffic flow on the busy highway with motorists strangling to pass the section due to a huge crowd gathering to witness and save the students.
The incident comes days after several students from Kenyatta University lost their lives following a tragic accident in the Maungu area.
Speaking at the memorial service held at the university on Sunday, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu stated that the Ministry of Education shall continue to collaborate with the school and the injured victims in hospitals.
“To those who are in the hospital we will be able to assist each other in all ways possible and we ask them to be strong so that they can be able to leave the hospital,” he said.
Machogu expressed his condolences to the friends and families of the deceased students of the tragic accident. He also extended his sympathies to the Kenyatta University fraternity.
