Two teenagers were left nursing grave injuries at Thika Level 5 Hospital after a motorcycle they were riding was run over by a vehicle.
The duo claimed that they were headed home to Kihiu Mwiri village in Gatanga, Murang’a county, when the incident happened.
The two are Brian Ingusu and his cousin David Lucheri, both aged 17.
Ingusu suffered a broken right limb, ribs and deep cuts on his face while Lucheri had broken ribs and bruises all over his face, hands and legs.
His mother, Jacqueline Were, told journalists that she received the sad news while at her home.
She rushed to Ngati police station within Del Monte farm where the motorbike was taken and the police notified her that her son and cousin had been rushed to hospital.
“They dumped my children at the hospital and left them unattended. They have bruises all over and are in excruciating pain,” Were said.
The agitated mother also pointed an accusing finger at the management of Thika Level 5 Hospital saying that they failed to attend to the injured teenagers for hours after they were taken to the facility.
“We fail to understand why they have not been attended to for close to seven hours. The children are in pain and haven’t been given even painkillers,” Were said.
The victims were however attended to by the medics.
Gatanga sub-county police commander Patrick Nyanga confirmed the incident saying that it was just an accident at Del Monte farm and that further investigations are underway. BY THE STAR
