Tens of passengers heading to Mombasa from Western on Monday escaped death by a whisker after the bus they were traveling in was involved in an accident before catching fire. The Modern Coast bus that was headed to Mombasa from Kakamega was caught in the accident as it tried to evade hitting the two vehicles. Witnesses accounts showed that the instant breaks applied by the bus driver who also hit a pothole was also a reason the bus caught fire. An alert raised by the bus driver helped all the passengers to alight safely before the bus got completely engulfed in flames. The bus caught fire before it spread on one of the salon car.
