The crash, as reported, happened near an area known as Ku Kirenge cya Ruganzu.<\/p>\n

ACP Boniface Rutikanga, the Spokesperson of Rwanda National Police, told The New Times that some people lost their lives, while others were seriously injured but couldn’t say the exact number of fatalities and injuries as this was still being assessed.<\/p>\n

The bus, which was traveling from Kigali to Musanze with 51 passengers on board, veered off the road and plunged about 800 meters down a steep slope.<\/p>\n

The RNP extended its condolences to the bereaved families, Rutikanga said, adding that they continue to offer support to the injured.<\/p>\n

An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the accident, as well as the exact number of casualties, police added.<\/p>\n
