A Kenyan man died after he was involved in an accident in the US.The man, who authorities identified as Samuel Kisaka Mwawasi, was driving home at about 3.15pm when his car veered off the road on Old National Highway, a few kilometres south of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, US.

Mwawasi was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in downtown Atlanta, where he died.

"He bled to death due to multiple internal injuries," said Mr Donald Mwawasi, the father to the deceased.

Mr Mwawasi, who is from Taita Taveta District told The Standard his son, 28, was a student of economics at the Georgia Military University.

His death comes barely a month after another Kenyan collapsed and died at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta.

Mr Peter Ogego, Kenya’s ambassador to the US, sent condolences to Mwawasi’s family.

"The frequency with which the Embassy is receiving these sad reports is worrying", he said.
