Britons injured in Mombasa coach crash 2 March 2013 Last updated at 14:07 Eyewitness Mark Bizley says the driver was struggling to keep the coach straight A number of Britons have been hurt after the coach they were travelling in crashed in Kenya, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has said. The incident happened near the coastal city of Mombasa on Saturday morning. An FCO spokesman said the injuries were not life-threatening and added consular staff were helping those hurt. While the number of Britons involved is not yet known, the BBC's Andrew Plant in Kenya said he believed 15 tourists and three local staff were on board. Six of those on board were taken to hospital in Mombasa, with at least one British national among them, our correspondent understands. Eyewitness Mark Bizley, who was travelling in a car behind the coach, told the BBC the wheels of the coach "lost their grip of the tarmac" and started to snake. He said: "I could see the driver was really struggling to keep the vehicle straight. The right hand wheels went over the edge of the tarmac. As soon as the wheels hit the road, the bus rolled. The coach is believed to have been travelling to Mombasa Airport when the accident happened. A spokesman for the FCO said: "There has been a coach crash that we are aware of. We believe there are British nationals involved, and there are some injuries. We are sending staff there now and we'll have more details later. Indications are the injuries are not life-threatening but we won't know for certain until our people are on the scene. Kenyan emergency services have launched an investigation into what caused the coach to crash.
