A 68-year-old disabled woman died on
Tuesday evening when she was struck
by a speeding car. The driver didn’t stop.
Margret Wacheke was crossing the
Nairobi-Nakuru highway at Ha Mathore
area in Lari constituency.
She was carrying her 3-year-old
grandson on her back when she was
knocked down.
The boy was thrown into a ditch.
Witnesses said the driver didn’t stop
to check on their condition but sped off.
He was however arrested and
taken to police station after boda boda
operators at Nyambare trading center
were called to block the highway.
“We blocked the way and the driver
tried to swerve inside a petrol station,
but we blocked him completely until he
stopped,” rider Francis Gicheru said.
