As the investigation into what caused the tragedy proceeds, Sharon Kosgey, the lone survivor of the tragic event that killed Kelvin Kiptum, has provided a statement to the authorities.
Sharon described the final seconds before the car crashed, instantly killing two of the occupants.
She also mentioned that the car was in fine shape and had not encountered any problems prior to the tragedy.
Sharon also disclosed that she warned Kiptum—who was driving at the time—that the car was drifting off the road in the police statement.
According to the woman, Kiptum was unable to steer the vehicle back onto the road, realizing they had veered off the road when it was too late.
The DCI officers investigating the accident have pledged to continue gathering more information about the late Kiptum’s final moments from individuals who were in his vicinity.

Meanwhile, President William Ruto has directed experts to build a three-bedroom house for Kelvin Kiptum’s family, instructing that it be done before he is laid to rest, set for February 24.
The engineers assigned will kick off the project on Friday, following consultations with the family members, to ensure the house is ready for handing over before Kiptum’s burial.
Kiptum’s widow speaking to the media after the accident noted that his last promise was to build a house for his family, and had already drafted his architectural plans.
