NAIROBI, Kenya — A man was tragically killed on Saturday while attempting to cross the Thika Superhighway near the Garden City Mall.
The unidentified individual was reportedly running across the eight-lane highway from the direction of the Homeland restaurant toward the mall, despite the presence of a nearby footbridge.
According to a witness, the man was struck by a speeding vehicle.
In a harrowing turn of events, a second car then ran over him, and bystanders had to intervene to pull him out from under the vehicle.
