Some eye witnesses blamed the matatu driver for speeding, saying that most of the matatus that ply that route are often driven recklessly.
The accident comes just days after a matatu rammed a police car in Nairobi’s CBD.
The matatu, which fled the scene after the incident, was later impounded and has been detained at the Central Police station.
