In the wake of the unimaginable tragedy at Kikopey that left 13 people dead, a story of miraculous survival emerges, offering a glimmer of light amidst the profound grief. A young man from Nakuru, who was aboard the ill-fated matatu, has shared his deeply personal and emotional account of the crash, a story he says he is telling to honor those who were lost.
Fighting back tears, the survivor described the eerie normalcy of the journey moments before disaster struck on the busy Nakuru-Eldoret road. “We were just people going about our day, some laughing, others on their phones. Then, in a blur of metal and noise, everything changed. I remember the crushing sound and then silence—a silence more frightening than the crash itself.”
His testimony is more than just a recount of a traffic accident; it’s a raw, human story of loss, survival, and a second chance at life. He expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the victims, stating, “I don’t know why I was spared when others were not. I will live my life in their memory.”
