One youth is dead and two others are fighting for their lives after the motorcycle they were riding crashed into a river in Gitiri, Kenya.
All three had been aboard the motorcycle when it hit a pothole on a bridge crossing the River Kinja, causing it to change course. The driver, who like his passengers had been out drinking, was unable to regain control.
A search for the victims ensued, which revealed that recent high school graduate, James Gitau, had drowned. The survivors, who have not been named, were taken by ambulance to hospital in Kinangop, Nyandarua County.
