DHAKA: At least 41 people have been killed in a bus crash near the Kenyan town of Narok, west of the capital Nairobi, the Red Cross says.

‘It is a horrible scene. Bodies are strewn all over,’ said police traffic officer Samuel Kimaru, reports the BBC.

The bus, travelling from Nairobi to Homa Bay on Lake Victoria, reportedly plunged into a valley and rolled over several times, ripping off its roof.

According to the BBC correspondent, road accidents are common in Kenya.

A similar number of people were killed when another bus overturned in February.
