Boy saved, mother dies as car plunges in ocean

Winnie Acheing, 33, was driving on Makupa Causeway when the car plunged into the ocean.

A 12-year-old boy jumped out of a vehicle that plunged into the Indian Ocean, at the Makupa Causeway in Mombasa, yesterday, after he unsuccessfully tried to save his trapped mother.

Witnesses said Gift Otieno came out of the car through a broken window and swam before local fishermen rescued him.
