Police have called off rescue operations at Nithi Bridge in Tharaka Nithi, where 35 people were killed in a grisly road accident on Sunday.
Speaking Tuesday morning, Eastern regional commissioner Evans Achoki said they called off the rescue operations after accounting for all the 45 passengers who were aboard the bus during the accident.
He said they pulled the wreckage of the bus from the river on Monday.
Achoki said 10 people injured in the accident were receiving treatment at Chuka County Referral Hospital, some in critical condition.
Eyewitnesses said that the Mombasa-bound bus was travelling from Meru Town when the accident occurred.
The accident happened just a month after National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) released a report on the increasing number of deaths following road accidents.
According to NTSA, about 2,211 have died on Kenyan roads between January and June this year, compared to 1,988 who died around the same time in 2021.
