Hunt for bodaboda operator as girl dies in Narok accident

Police in Narok County are in hot pursuit of a bodaboda rider over an incident that claimed the life of a 14-year-old girl.

County police commander Kizito Mutoro said the boda boda operator was ferrying the girl from Nkineji business centre towards Empompongi area.

“The rider lost control of the motorbike, leading to an accident involving the girl, who is a pupil at a local school,” Mutoro told Citizen Digital.

The pupil succumbed to serious head injuries while on the way to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi.

“The girl was pronounced dead on arrival at KNH. Her body has been preserved at the facility awaiting post-mortem,” Mutoro added.

Meanwhile, police have urged locals in Narok West to volunteer any information that could lead to the arrest of the bodaboda operator.
