Images have surfaced of a student from Eldoret National Polytechnic who sadly lost her life in a tragic road accident while en route to school for her exams, leaving her family, friends, and classmates devastated.
Caroline Jebet died when the motorcycle she was riding collided with a tipper truck on Uganda Road in Eldoret town.
The deadly incident reportedly took place near Uzuri Supermarket when the truck experienced brake failure and crashed into the motorcycle.
Reports suggest that Jebet sustained severe head injuries and succumbed at the scene, while the motorcycle rider survived but suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The tragedy has left many people heartbroken, particularly since Jebet was on her way to her exams when the accident occurred.
What should have been a routine day of studying turned into a calamity, as she never made it to the examination room.
The news of her sudden passing has shocked the Eldoret National Polytechnic community, with fellow students and staff expressing their grief over the loss.
Jebet was still pursuing her studies and had aspirations for a brighter future. Her untimely death has raised questions about the dreams and opportunities that will remain unfulfilled.
In response to this tragedy, students at the institution have arranged a candlelight vigil to honor her memory and bid her farewell.
The memorial event is set for Thursday, November 5, starting at 5 PM. Students will gather at the main gate of the institution and walk to the site of the accident along Uganda Road.
They will light candles at the location in remembrance of their fallen peer before returning to the campus grounds near the cafeteria to conclude the event.
The vigil highlights the deep sorrow felt within the institution as students unite to grieve for one of their own.
Jebet's death serves as a poignant reminder of the hazards on Kenyan roads and how swiftly an ordinary trip can lead to devastating tragedy.
