LETS STOP HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENTS!!!!!!

Borrowed this article from a friends timeline...
"Ladies & gentlemen, please join me in this campaign.This was the brother of a very close friend of mine.
CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIT-AND-RUN MOTOR ACCIDENTS.

Recently we lost a brother, Clifford Best Nyabwari through a hit- and- run motor accident along the newly renovated Thika Superhighway. The driver hit him, dragged him a couple of metres away and sped off. Several vehicles ran over him in the early morning of 29th September 2012. Our brother Clifford Best was badly messed up in that horror accident. Tension built up from 2nd Tuesday October and the search for our brother ended up at the city mortuary.

As family and friends we come out openly urging the public to STOP HIT-AND-RUN motor accidents. As a competent driver, stop, check on the victim and own it up. It is time to say: enough is enough. What are we all waiting for; to only feel this pain when we lose a loved one? Is the trauma all around us not a sufficient call to action?

Clifford Best Nyabwari was only 31. That Saturday morning, he became part of statistics of Kenyans dying every day in avoidable road related accidents. Just like many ‘ordinary deaths’ Cliff’s may never attract any national attention: no commission of inquiry will be engaged; flags won’t fly at half-mast neither will there be a presidential visit to the family.

LETS STOP HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENTS!!!!!! —
 
May Clifford rest in peace.
