An accident in Ratili area along the Narok-Bomet highway has claimed the life of a senior traffic police officer on Monday. Calvin Ochieng Onganda, the Narok Deputy Traffic Base Commander, was killed when the car he was driving had a head-on collision with a lorry in Narok county.
According to the Narok Police Commander, Riko Ngare, the officer was driving his Toyota Premio and was in the process of overtaking another car when the accident happened.
The accident happened days after the Transport CS, Kipchumba Murkomen, unveiled a series of measures meant to tame the rising cases of road accidents in the country.
The body of the officer is being preserved at Longisa County Referral Hospital in Bomet county awaiting postmortem while the two vehicles were towed to Ololulunga Police Station also in Bomet county for inspection.
The officer was described as a dedicated and hardworking person who will be remembered for his service to Kenyans. His death is surely a big blow to the National Police Service.
