There occurred an accident in Kericho town where by a cart rider lost control of his loaded cart and ended up hitting an electricity pole and died. According to our source, the old man, popularly known as Muiruri at the Kenya co-operative Creameries Depot (KCC) in Kericho Town, loaded his cart with maize chaff at the Halis flour mills on Tengecha road in the town after he got the contract from one of the staff members of the factory. The destination of the cargo was somewhere neighboring the Fountain Primary School,that neighbors the Cereals and Produce Board Depot in Kericho Town.
It is said that on reaching the slope down the road towards the Municipal Council of Kericho garbage dumpsite, the deceased and his turn boy lost control of the cart after it overwhelmed them in speed due to the normal effects of the force of gravity and when they reached the bumps, the cart tossed them into the air very hard that he lost his turn boy. So, he was left alone with the cart and he wasn’t able to control it down the slope and so he thought that if he hit the electricity pole that was in front of him with the cart, it would stop and save him from getting hurt if the cart went off the road.
The cart tossed him in to the air and then he hit the pole very hard that he fell unconscious instantly and then he died a few minutes later in the hands of the doctors of the Kericho Referral Hospital After his turn boy called a motorcycle taxi that took him to the Hospital.
His carcass was said to have been stored at the Hospitals Mortuary.
The Incident Took Place between eleven O’clock and Mid-day on the twenty fourth day of the month of august this year.
