“We were two in the vehicle when we left Migori town. At Namba junction, two gentlemen boarded the vehicle and just a few metres from the stage, the vehicle was involved in an accident and I found myself at the hospital,” Mwita narrated.
The two vehicles were towed to Migori Police Station.
Police are hunting for the truck driver who is alleged to have escaped to avoid being assaulted by members of the public.
The body of the deceased has been reserved at Akidiva memorial hospital mortuary.
