British Tourist Killed by Kenyan President's Motorcade in Nairobi

The 79-year-old man was struck by a speeding government vehicle while visiting family, prompting investigations and public outcry over motorcade safety.

Edgar Charles Frederick, a 79-year-old British tourist, was fatally struck by a government vehicle in President William Ruto's motorcade in Nairobi on Thursday.
The motorcade was traveling at high speed along Ngong Road when the incident occurred; the vehicle involved did not stop after the collision for security reasons.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested and later released on cash bail, with Kenyan authorities launching an investigation into the incident.
Frederick, who was visiting family in Kenya, was reportedly hard of hearing, which may have contributed to the accident as he attempted to cross the road.
The incident has sparked public criticism in Kenya over the high speeds and safety practices of presidential motorcades in busy urban areas.
