Kenya Television Network (KTN) senior reporter Dennis Onsarigo is admitted in hospital after he was involved in a road accident.

Onsarigo, who had his arm held by a sling in a hospital bed, revealed that he had undergone a six-hour surgery.

He stated that he was happy to be alive and that life was short and God had given him a second chance.

The reporter revealed that an overlapping truck almost ran him over after he lost control of his bike on Saturday.

Here is what happened in his own words…

“I went riding a bike on Saturday.. I had done 23Kms one way when a truck left the main road on to my path wanting to overlap.

I decide let me outpace it because it will leave dust on me.. step on the peddle, look over my shoulder and the truck has now increased pace; step on the pedal again and the truck driver impatient now honks... glancing back for a third time ...

The truck is literally inches of “breathing” from me.. I turn my head before I can leave the bicycle path, I lose control of the beast.. push over.

I land head first - thank God I had a helmet- then my shoulder, the landing force tosses me just a yard from the truck

“Screams from other motorists, the screeching slamming on brakes and now lost in dust, I can hear my own breathing..

I try lifting myself up, I can’t. A sharp pain on my collar bone, tells me I have fractured something.

Long story short, I survived a truck crashing me; it was a touching distance from where I lay.

Flashback: previous night a colleague had told me not to go riding after I told them I wasn’t sure about riding on that road...

That morning, I bought a new helmet and said a prayer .. something I rarely do when going biking.

As I was wheeled into the operating room for a six hour operation it hit me; life is short ..

When the surgeons dimmed the lights out of my life, I had died for six hours... what if I never returned?

Lucky to be alive; time I figured what this accident means.” He wrote

The entire Standard Group wishes him a quick recovery.
