Two high school students succumb to injuries following a tragic accident along the Mang’u-Flyover road.
According to reports, Jane Mugure and Francis Muiruri who are Form Three and Form Four students respectively at Kanjuku Secondary School were riding on a motorbike when they were hit by another speeding motorcycle, that pushed them towards a speeding vehicle, along the Mang’u-Flyover road.
Mugure succumbed to the injuries while being rushed to Thika Level 5 Hospital while Muiruri passed on while receiving treatment.
Brian Mburu, another student who was riding the ill-fated motorcycle is lucky to be alive.
He escaped with slight injuries in the accident that claimed the lives of two of his friends.
Mburu told journalists on Monday that he picked the deceased from their home to visit another friend in a nearby village. After the visit, they headed towards Kariminu II dam to enjoy the scenery before heading back home.

However, on reaching Mubao area along the busy road, a speeding car slammed them from behind and sped off.
“I fell unconscious after and upon regaining consciousness I saw my friends lying on the road. Mugure seemed gravely injured but Muiruri was speaking, he was calling out God’s name,” he said.
Mburu said that the deceased suffered internal injuries since they were not bleeding.
The visibly traumatized student noted that those who responded to the accident didn’t act fast to rush the injured to the hospital but instead watched them as they reeled in pain.
“My friends wouldn’t have lost their lives if there was a quick response. We stayed at the scene for a very long time before some well-wishers rushed them to hospital,” he said.
