Traffic Police Officer Knocked Down By Boda Boda in Bomet

A traffic police officer stationed at the Kyokong police checkpoint on the Bomet-Narok highway is fighting for his life at Tenwek Hospital after being run over by a boda boda.

Speaking to the press, Bomet Central Police Station OCPD Musa Omar stated that the officer had stopped a private motor vehicle at a traffic stop when the incident occurred.

The officer suffered serious injuries to his right leg and head from the said incident.

The speeding motorcycle, which was reportedly following the vehicle, attempted to navigate around it quickly, inadvertently knocking down the officer.

“The officer had stopped a vehicle which was en route to Narok from Bomet. Behind the vehicle was a speeding motorcycle whose rider attempted to go past the stopped car but knocked down our officer in the process,” said Omar.

The OCPD also stated that the boda boda’s two pillion passengers suffered minor injuries during the incident and were transported to Tenwek Hospital for treatment.

Following the incident, there was a traffic jam on the road until the police intervened to de-escalate the situation.

The motorcycle wreckage has since been towed to the Bomet Central Police Station.
