Police probing death of foreigner killed by car in President Ruto's motorcade

The National Police Service (NPS) has launched investigations into the death of a foreign national who was knocked down by President William Ruto’s motorcade along Ngong Road on Thursday afternoon.

The incident took place near the Adams Arcade area as the convoy was making its way from Lang'ata toward Kibra constituency.

“Following a mad traffic accident that occurred today at Adams Arcade along Ngong Road involving a government vehicle, which resulted in the death of a pedestrian who is a foreign national, the National Police Service (NPS) is now handling the matter, and investigations have commenced,” said the police, in a statement signed by spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga.  

The victim, described as a middle-aged white man, was reportedly struck while attempting to cross the busy road, seemingly unaware of the oncoming vehicles.

His body has since been moved to the City Mortuary, awaiting an autopsy.

“The National Police Service urges motorists, pedestrians, and all other road users to exercise extreme caution and adhere to traffic rules to prevent accidents,” said the NPS.
