Police are investigating an incident in which a 26-year-old man lost his life in a tragic accident in Nairobi on Tuesday.
The man identified as Samuel Ndungu died after allegedly being run over by a matatu along Muthurwa road.
According to a report by the Directorate of Investigations (DCI), Ndungu was allegedly run over by a matatu after alighting while the vehicle was in motion, suffering fatal injuries.
"In the report booked at the Makadara Station, the victim is said to have fallen on the hard surface before the rear wheels ran him over, killing him instantly," DCI said.
The DIC has urged passengers using public transport to always exercise patience while boarding and alighting from matatus.
The DCI advised that they do so only when the vehicles are stationary and at safe picking and drop-off points.
"Equally, drivers and touts are called upon to be mindful of and be patient with their customers, by allowing them enough time to safely board and alight at designated points to avoid such accidents," DCI said.
