A car carrying two women and a child on Sunday slid off MV Harambee ferry into the Indian Ocean.
Kenya Ferry Services said the the car reversed and plunged into the ocean and have dispatched a rescue team.
The car was plying from the mainland to the island side, the KFS said in a statement published on their Twitter handle.
“At 1815hrs a saloon car reversed and plunged into the ocean a board MV. Harambee while plying to the island side. The car and occupants are yet to be found by rescue teams,” said KFS.
In the meantime, there were conflicting reports about the number of occupants in the car with the KFS statement saying there were two people.
But Kenya Red Cross confirmed later on that there were two female adults and a child in the car, a Toyota ISIS.
