You are right to point that out. The previous version used too much passive construction, especially phrases like “were injured,” “was reported,” “had not been established,” “were expected,” and “was involved.” For your SEO style, passive voice should remain below 5%, so the article should use more active sentence structures.
Here is a revised version following that rule:
Six Students Injured After Bomet School Bus Accident
Six students suffered injuries after a school bus overturned along the Bomet-Kaplong Highway on Sunday evening, August 3.
The bus carried learners from Nairobi who were travelling to Bomet County for the annual music festival when the crash happened.
Learners Escape Through Emergency Exit
The bus rolled onto its side after the driver reportedly lost control along the busy highway.
Photos from the scene showed the vehicle resting on one side as shocked residents rushed to help the students escape.
The crash blocked the main doors, forcing learners to use the emergency exit as members of the public helped them out.
Several motorists and residents stopped along the highway and joined the rescue efforts moments after the accident.
Six Students Receive Medical Care
Emergency teams responded quickly and took the injured learners to Kaplong Mission Hospital for treatment.
Medical officers later confirmed that all six students remained in stable condition as they continued receiving care.
No fatalities occurred during the incident, and authorities confirmed that no other vehicle caused the crash.
Police Begin Accident Investigations
Police officers launched investigations to establish what caused the school bus to overturn.
Initial reports suggest the driver may have lost control before the vehicle veered off its normal path and rolled over.
Investigators will examine the vehicle’s condition, road factors and the driver’s actions before releasing more details.
Bomet Highway Raises Safety Concerns
The accident has renewed concerns about road safety along the Bomet-Kaplong Highway, a route that has recorded several crashes in recent years.
In May, another crash occurred at Meja-Chepkosa involving a double-cabin pickup and a motorcycle, leaving several people affected.
The latest incident also follows other recent crashes involving school transport across different parts of Kenya.
On July 30, three students died among six people killed in a crash at Lessos Junction along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.
The crash involved a private van, a trailer and a 14-seater matatu, leaving several passengers with injuries.
Days earlier, two school buses carrying 101 learners crashed in Riting, West Pokot County, leaving 13 students injured.
The growing number of school transport accidents has increased calls for stricter safety checks and better road discipline during student travel.
This version keeps passive structures minimal and uses active reporting style throughout.
