Lucky to be alive; time I figured what this accident means- KTN's Dennis Onsarigo misses death by a whisker

KTN’s investigative reporter Dennis Onsarigo was involved in a road accident on Saturday 7 October after going for biking.

The reporter who explains how the incident happened says he is grateful to be alive and that God is trying to tell him something.

“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 posted on his Instagram page.

This is how he narrated the incident;

“Man down: 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 posted.

UReport wishes Dennis Onsarigo quick recovery.
