Twenty-one pupils from St Michael Primary School were reportedly injured, three of them critically, after their school bus was involved in an accident at Kiongwani along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

The pupils were on their way to Mombasa from Kitui for an academic trip before the driver allegedly lost control of the bus and landed in a ditch.
