One individual has lost their life, and another has sustained serious injuries after being struck by a lorry while attempting to board a ferry at the Likoni Crossing Channel in Mombasa on Friday evening.
As reported by the police, the incident took place at approximately 7:15 PM.
The lorry, loaded with building materials, was making its way down the mainland ramp towards the ferry when the driver, identified as Bakari Gonga, lost control and collided with two pedestrians.
A female pedestrian, whose name has not yet been released, was killed on the spot, while a male pedestrian suffered multiple fractures in both legs.
The injured individual was promptly taken to Likoni Sub-County Hospital for medical attention, and the deceased’s body was transported to Coast General Hospital Mortuary.
Authorities have since relocated the Mitsubishi FH lorry to Likoni Police Station as investigations continue.
