When Njeri’s neighbor at Kware Market in Rongai, Lucy Kiende, found out she was one among the victims of the Nithi Bridge catastrophe, she grieved her deeply.
As they got ready to leave their house for a group parental blessing event at Nkubu in Meru, Lucy said that Njeri seemed cheerful.
Njeri left behind a husband and little children, and Lucy requested that the government assist in both helping to bury her and providing for her children’s education.
A vendor in the Kware market in Rongai has been deeply saddened by the loss of her friend Njeri, one of the twelve victims of the Nithi Bridge tragedy.
A trader named Lucy Kiende, who used to sell fruits with Njeri, claimed that the group was engaged in a multi-car collision on the famed Nithi Bridge while traveling to Nkubu, in Meru county, to visit one of their chama member’s parents for blessings. Tragic events reportedly occurred when a pickup truck struck the friends’ 14-seat van head-on.
A Toyota Sienta lost control of its brakes and collided with a stalled truck at the site a few minutes later. Njeri departs from husband and small children “Njeri’s auntie alighted at her stage but later learned that the rest had been involved in an accident,” said Lucy, who worked with the deceased in the market and is married where Njeri was born, in an interview with Paxon TV.
“They lived with her mum in Rongai, but the latter left for her rural home.” Upon arriving in Chuka, she discovered her in the mortuary.
Lucy remarked, “We are very saddened by her passing. She was a young lady and had a one-year-old child.” “Since Njeri had little children and her husband is unemployed, we are in great need of government assistance in organizing the burial. With a little assistance from the spouse, the mother was the primary provider,” she continued.
