The athletics fraternity is mourning the death of an elite athlete who died in an accident along the Lessos- Kapsabet road in Nandi County.

Sammy Kosgei, who hails from Kamonjil village in Kapsabet, was hit by a Passenger Service Vehicle on Friday evening. Retired athlete Hosea Saina, who is the family spokesman, said that they have lost a young athlete who had a bright future.

“It’s sad that we lost a young athlete who has been running internationally and his future was bright. Death has robbed us a humble and hard working athlete who was destined to the top,” Hosea said.

He added that the family will have a meeting on Saturday for burial arrangements.
