Two people were on Tuesday killed in two separate road accidents.
In
the first accident, a man said to be mentally ill was killed by a
hit-and-run vehicle at Mago near Losengeli Secondary School on
Chavakali-Kapsabet road. Sabatia police officer Martha Mutegi said
nobody had reported a missing relative, making it difficult to identify
the man.
She said that the vehicle involved remained unidentified as the accident occurred when the public was still asleep.
“A
hit-and-run vehicle killed him. People living close to the highway have
told us they heard hooting and screeching of emergency brakes. The
vehicle could have been speeding,” the Sabatia police chief said.
The man’s body was taken to Vihiga district hospital mortuary.
In the other accident, a car hit a 72-year-old pedestrian at Ebuyangu, in Emuhaya District.
Emuhaya head of police Benson Kilonzo said: “The man was seriously injured. He died moments after he arrived at Yala Hospital.”
He called on motorists and pedestrians to be careful and obey all traffic rules to reduce accidents.
His body is at the hospital’s mortuary.
