Atleast 45 passengers escaped unhurt on Monday morning after the bus they were traveling in went up in flames at Buoye area along the Ahero-Kisumu road.
The Guardian Angel bus was ferrying passengers from Kisumu to Nairobi when the incident happened.

No injuries were reported in the incident as the travelers and locals stood at a distance watching the bus burn to a shell.
The accident caused a snarl up along the busy road as motorists had to wait for the inferno to be contained before passing through.
