Survivors of the Saturday morning accident that left two people dead and several others injured after the Simba coach bus crashed have broken their silence and explained last moments before the accident happened.
According to the survivors who were speaking in hospital after they were retrieved from the wreckage, the bus driver was moving at a normal speed before suddenly it started moving at an extremely slow speed before the Saturday accident.
The survivor claimed that the change in speed triggered concerns from the passengers who began asking the driver what is happening and even pressuring him to return to normal speeds.

However, he proceeds to narrate that as they approached the section of the road at the Twin Bridge area, the bus suddenly hit an oncoming lorry which went ahead to hit a salon car.
According to them, they suspect that the driver was struggling with fatigue and was fighting away sleep and that is why he reduced the speeds because he was struggling to control the bus.
“There were two conductors and a co-driver, we travelled for a long distance before the bus suddenly changed its speed, we were not sure whether the driver was asleep or not. When we arrived at this section of the road, the bus suddenly hit a lorry which went ahead to hit a car. The bus then rolled.”
