A nursery school boy was on Friday injured on
the leg by motor bike spindles. The incident occurred in the morning at the school
gate, opposite Kahuria Estate in Sipili. The boy’s left leg was accidentally
trapped between the spokes and the chain box of the bodaboda he was being carried on.
Screams from the kid attracted
residents who came to his rescue. The motorbike was laid down then the kid was
pulled out.
The kid sustained minor injuries and
was rushed by the residents to the nearby Sipili Dispensary where he was
treated and later discharged.
Eye witness alleges that the kid was
too young to be carried on a motorbike and that he was not seated properly.
The motorbike owner said that the boy
was trying to climb down from the motorbike when his leg accidentally got
stuck.
The residents of Sipili decry the
rising cases of bodaboda accidents in
the area. “Increase in accidents has been contributed to untrained bodaboda operators in the area,” said
one of the residents.
