Kiambu - A desperate man has been left incapacitated following an unfortunate road accident.

A speeding car sadly hit Willis Charago Macharia, leaving him with broken legs.

Macharia, who works as a boda boda rider, was waiting for a customer in Kahawa Wendani, Kiambu county.

What was Macharia doing at Magunas Stage?

The single father of three was waiting for his customer at Magunas Stage when the unfortunate turn of events occurred.

"He is currently at home for three weeks, both legs broke. He is a single parent caring for his two boys and one girl.

"Kindly, good people, let's support him even if it's just a little shopping so the children don't sleep hungry and the house shouldn't be closed since they already have a notice. Today I have visited him, and things are not okay," Derrick Mbugua, a human rights activist, pleaded with social media users.
