The deceased had travelled to Nairobi from his rural home in Roret, Kericho County, on Friday. Later that evening, they headed towards Pipeline, with the deceased travelling separately from his cousin and friends. According to the family, the trouble began when an online taxi driver allegedly rammed into their vehicle from behind, forcing them to stop by the roadside to assess the damage. The family said they immediately rushed the injured man to Mbagathi Hospital but were allegedly informed that he could not be treated there and were referred to Kenyatta National Hospital. Despite efforts to save his life, he was pronounced dead at Kenyatta National Hospital.
