A policeman died on the spot on Friday evening after the motorcycle he was riding was hit by a speeding vehicle near Gilgil weigh bridge on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
The police-rider attached to the anti-stock-theft unit in Gilgil is said to have had one of his limbs severed near the knee on impact before he succumbed to the injuries.
“We heard a loud bang from a distance and when we arrived at the scene, we found the police officer bleeding profusely,” said a witness James Wanjohi.
The accident occurred a few metres from the scene of the weekend incident where four people died after their vehicle was involved in a head-on-collision with a lorry.
Two people including Ziwani MCA in Nairobi Ms Millicent Wambui survived the accident and are fighting for their lives at a Nairobi hospital.
