Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22919, member: 2262"] A police officer died on Wednesday morning in Thika, Kenya. He was hit by a speeding car. The officer's name was James Mutunga. He worked for a special police unit. Corporal Mutunga and his team were trying to help a broken-down small taxi called a Tuktuk. They were working to clear it off the Thika Highway. The speeding car came from the direction of Kenol. It was going towards Thika. The car hit the Tuktuk and three people walking nearby. Then the car stopped moving. The crash hurt Corporal Mutunga very badly. He was taken to Thika Level Four Hospital. Sadly, he died before doctors could help him. His injuries were too severe. The person driving the Tuktuk was also seriously hurt. That driver is still being treated at the hospital. Two other officers with Corporal Mutunga got minor injuries. They received treatment and are doing okay. Corporal Mutunga worked hard to keep people safe on the highways. His unit looked for criminals and thieves and helped when there were traffic problems. The police took Corporal Mutunga's body to a funeral home. They will do an examination. The crashed vehicles were taken away as well. Experts will inspect them to learn more about what happened. Many people are sad about Corporal Mutunga's death. He died while working to make the roads better for everyone. His loss will be felt by his fellow officers, family, and friends. On the same morning, a motorcycle rider died in a different accident. This happened on the highway between Naivasha and Nairobi. The rider hit a lorry that had moved out of its lane. The rider was badly hurt and died immediately. It was a tragic start to the new year on Kenya's roads. Corporal Mutunga and the motorcycle rider lost their lives. Their deaths are a reminder to everyone to be careful and follow the rules when driving. [/QUOTE]
