A heartbroken family in Kericho county is painfully mourning the untimely and unfortunate demise of a loved one. Kericho student Enos Kibet Kalya passed away after a terrible road crash on Sunday night, February 9.  Enos Kibet Kalya sadly passed away on Sunday night, February 9 following a horrible road accident. Which hospital was Kibet rushed to after accident? The young man was allegedly on his way to watch a football match as explained by his friend, Goddy, when the incident occurred. He was on a boda boda heading to Litein where he would join a company of friends to watch football. “There was a Toyota Noah which was heading to Kericho town. When the driver tried to overtake, he collided with the boda boda which carried Kibet. The driver, Kibet and the boda boda operator were all injured. However, the driver was not as severely injured as the others.

They were all taken to Litein Mission Hospital for treatment after the crash. The Noah driver was discharged the same day while Kibet and the boda operator were to undergo an operation for some metal plates to be put in their legs,” he told TUKO.coke. Which university did Enos Kibet attend? Kibet’s oxygen levels were drastically decreasing and the doctors did not notice as they were not attending to him. This led to the collapse of his lungs and ultimately his death according to the postmortem report. Kibet was a 24-year-old Kenyan Highlands University student whose death shook the school fraternity. An internal memo was shared by the educational institution announcing the passing away of the young man. Which course was Kibet pursuing at Kenya Highlands University? He was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature and was in his fourth year when he met his fate.

“Kibet has been raised by a single mother and was the only child. His mother is struggling to come to terms with her son’s death. Already burial plans are underway but the family needs finances to give their kin a befitting sendoff. There will be a fundraiser on Sunday, February 16 as the burial is expected to take place on Tuesday, February 18,” he shared. Goddy recalled fond memories with his late friend praising him as a man of strong character and a people person. He said he was with him on the day he died not knowing it would be the last time he set his eyes on his friend.
