(CNN)At least 50 people, including seven children, were killed in a bus crash west of Nairobi, Kenya, on Wednesday, police said.
The bus was traveling from the Kenyan capital to the port city of Kisumu when the driver lost control while going down a steep slope, authorities said.
Kericho County Police Commander James Mugera told CNN that authorities believe the driver “lost control of his vehicle,” in the predawn hours on the Kisumu — Muhoroni highway in Fort Ternan, Kericho County, a region north west of Nairobi.
