Tragedy As Nakuru Teacher Killed By Fast-moving Train Which Found Him Struck On Railway Line

The teaching fraternity in Nakuru has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of a primary school teacher.

The teacher met his untimely demise after he got stuck on the railway line where he was crushed by a passenger train.

The train which was heading to Gilgil from the Nakuru station encountered the teacher when it reached Mediheal. The locomotive's engineer, tried to avoid hitting the teacher, but his his efforts proved futile, and as a result, the train hit the man and killed him on the spot.

Road users must follow road rules and signs and pay attention to the road environment when approaching rail crossings.

In almost every case that the motorist failed to stop and give way to the train at the level crossing and that there was little the train driver could do to prevent the collision or minimise its effects. Our train drivers are at every incident heavily traumatised since they are helpless and is pleading that motorists are taking double care when crossing the rails.
