Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) secretary-general Collins Oyuu was involved in a road accident on Monday morning on the Kisumu-Bondo highway.
Mr Oyuu’s vehicle overturned at Yago near Kombewa in Kisumu County while he was travelling to Kisumu International Airport.
While confirming the incident, Nyanza Regional Traffic Enforcement Officer (RTEO) Allan Mwangi stated that Oyuu’s car overturned in Kombewa when his driver swerved to avoid hitting a cyclist.

The cyclist was injured in the process but Oyuu and his driver escaped unhurt.
“We are investigating the accident where a cyclist was injured. The other victim escaped unhurt,” Mwangi stated.
The RTEO further indicated that he was accessing the scene pending further investigations.
