A man was killed on Saturday after being struck by a speeding car while crossing Thika Road near Garden City Mall.
Witnesses said the victim had been running from Homeland Restaurant toward the mall when he attempted to dash across the busy eight-lane highway just below a footbridge. He was hit by one vehicle before being run over by another.
Bystanders worked together to pull his body from beneath one of the cars. Police had not yet arrived to collect the body, causing a heavy traffic jam along the highway. Eyewitnesses said the man ignored the nearby footbridge, opting to cross the road on foot.
