Kisumu: Man allegedly throws himself infront of moving bus

A middle aged man allegedly committed suicide on Thursday night at Kachok on the Kisumu-Nairobi highway by throwing himself in front of a speeding bus.

The man who is yet to identified is said to have climbed the foot bridge near Lions High school and timed an oncoming speeding bus.

Eye witnesses said he then jumped from the foot bridge and was crashed to death by a Nairobi-bound bus.

The incident that happened at 10pm caused a huge traffic snarl up on the highway.

Passersby and locals thronged the accident scene where the deceased was crashed beyond recognition.

It is alleged that the man had differences with his girlfriend and this is what prompted him to take his own life.

Police have moved the body to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital.
