National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has suspended the Modern Coast Express’ operating license.

This follows a 2:00 am crash that left five people dead and 62 others nursing injuries.

The early Thursday incident involved a head-on collision between two modern Coast buses.

The buses collided at Kiongwani area, near Salama town along Mombasa-Nairobi highway, Makueni County.

DG George Njao says over the last couple of days, the Authority has been monitoring the firm’s operations following reports of several near fatal crashes.
