On wedness morning saw a Fatal accident at the juction between Umoja and Buru Buru at the Mtindwa Stage involving Umoinner Sacco Bus and Train.
The accident occurred at a time when most city residents were going to work and left 11 dead as well as scorees injured.
However many question as to how the accident occured is a puzzle that many are still trying to come to reality with.
Its said that the Bus driver and Conductor Escaped unhurt and went into hiding apparently after collecting passangers fares.
Its intriguing as to how the bus driver failed to Notice the oncoming Train which usually starts hooting from Donholm all the way to Umoja Mtindwa where the accident happened.
Eye witness claimed that the bus mysteriously stopped on the railway line and did not move regardless of attempts by the driver to restart the car.
Its this time that the driver jumped off leaving the passangers to be crushed.
One of the Mtindwa Merchants said that the Train dragged the ill fated bus for more that 200 meters crushing It and the occupants into pieces.
He also alleged that the death toll is more than 20 as bodies were strewn all over the place.
The bus management on their facebook page said that "#MutindwaTrainAccident Temporary structures constructed along the railway line make it difficult for the drivers to see approaching trains.nation updates.#"
