Forty-one students from Lukenya University, Mtito-Andei campus, escaped death narrowly yesterday when a matatu they were traveling in was swept by raging floods at River Kyamela, Makueni County.
The matatu was heading to Nairobi but it changed route to Emali-Itangini road due to a traffic snarl-up on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.
