One of the victims who perished at the Ngata Bridge road accident in Nakuru was a KCA university student who was rushing to collect a job appointment letter, it has now emerged.

Nairobi Leo has learnt that Celestine Awuor was on her way to Eldoret to pick a job offer letter after securing a job.

But she would not land her dream job after the accident struck leaving her dead.

“By the time of the news, she was supposed to have arrived. When our calls were unanswered, we knew something was wrong. I told my wife (her sister) that I would rush to Nakuru in the morning to see if she was among the injured. I could not sleep,” her brother Anthony Onyango said.

The Ngata accident left 10 people dead with more than 20 injured.

The accident occurred after a trailer lost control and rammed into multiple public service vehicles.

Onyango added that the death was a big blow to the family since the lady was educated by a single mum who strived so much to have her access to education.

"I just plead with Kenha [Kenya National Highways Authority] to look at that stretch. I have lost a person who was very dedicated to her studies. She was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay school fees but that never deterred her from working hard,” he said.
