Several people were injured on the afternoon of Saturday, September 13, 2025, after a bus carrying fans of Gor Mahia Football Club was involved in a road accident at Kimende, along the Nairobi-Naivasha Highway.
Preliminary reports suggest the bus was speeding when the driver lost control, causing it to veer off the road and overturn beside the highway.
Witnesses reported that the group was returning to Nairobi from a burial ceremony held in the upcountry when the accident occurred. Local residents quickly responded, helping pull trapped passengers from the wreckage and transporting them to Kijabe Mission Hospital.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that at least six individuals sustained serious injuries and remain in critical condition, while several others suffered minor injuries.
Images and videos circulating on social media showed distressed passengers attempting to exit the overturned vehicle through windows as rescue efforts intensified.
Additional footage obtained by media showed some victims lying on the roadside, while others scrambled to retrieve personal belongings from the wreckage. At the time of reporting, police had not yet arrived at the scene.
This incident is one of several road accidents reported in recent days. On Friday, September 12, a pupil was killed and 13 others injured in an accident in Mihango, Chokaa Estate, Nairobi County.
