Three of the five victims of the Ikangamarket-boxing day fatal accident have succumbed to critical head injuries while undergoing treatment at Kitui County Referral Hospital this evening.
The accident occurred after a brand new car heading in the Mutomo direction knocked down a motorbike crossing the road from the Boda boda shade near the Kitui stage leaving five people with critical injuries.
According to the eyewitnesses, four were family members; the cyclist, his sister in-law and her two children. The fiveth victim was a female pedestrian who was knocked down by the car after losing control.
The five were taken to Ikanga level IV hospital for medication and later transferred to Kitui County Referral Hospital.The cyclist, his sister in-law and her lastborn have died while undergoing treatment while the elder son and the pedestrian are fighting for their lives.
The car could have cost more harm were it not for a lorry parked alongside the road which was seriously damaged by the car, however, it helped minimise more harm as the car stopped instantly after hitting it. Were it not for the lorry, the car could have hit the small scale traders who sell their commodities alongside the road exposing themselves to more risks.
