A Kenyan couple lost their lives in a Tragic road accident in Chino Hills USA.

Gideon Mbatha Mutuka, 43, and Ruth Mulisa Wambusa, 38, a couple who had found hope and promise in their new life in the United States, tragically lost their lives in a catastrophic accident on the 71 Freeway in Chino Hills on Sunday, March 19.

The two were among four individuals who perished in the horrific crash that was caused by a driver who entered the freeway in the wrong direction. 

The accident involved at least six cars that were caught in a catastrophic chain reaction after colliding with the vehicle driven by the wrong-way driver. The force of the impact was so great that the vehicle on the wrong side spun around in the air before crashing into the centre divider, where it burst into flames.

The California Highway Patrol revealed that both drivers were killed instantly in the collision. The couple died on the spot.  leaving behind three children aged 12, 7, and 3.

Kenyans living in California, US, are appealing to well-wishers and other Kenyans living in the diaspora to help them raise funds to carter for funeral expenses.

May their souls rest in peace.
