A baby strapped on her mother’s back survived an accident that claimed the woman's life.
As good Samaritans struggled to untie her from the mother, the three-year-old girl who sustained minor bruises on her head wailed when being separated from her dead mother.
Sharon Otieno died in the accident along Sori-Rodi Kopany road in Homa Bay County yesterday when the truck driver veered off the road and hit her.
Witnesses said the woman was on foot when the truck hit them from behind. Her body was moved to Manyatta Kobodo mortuary and the girl taken to Ndhiwa Sub-county Hospital for treatment.
