Another horrific accident scene....As we approached I saw the plastic orange sandal in the middle of the road and skid marks. A crowd had gathered. Apparently a bicyclist carrying milk from local farmers hit a young boy as he crossed the road. The impact carried them both 100 feet down the road (at the bottom of a big hill) and off into the grass. The young boy lay motionless with the raw meat of his face exposed. His skin had some how been peeled back off half of his face. The milk man had less visible injuries but we suspected internal damage.
They loaded them into the back of our car. So many people had passed by before we stopped, they told us. We rushed them to the hospital 10 minutes away in Nyanza. While we traveled I prayed that God would heal these boys. I am not one that usually has a stomach for such things, but I thank God that we were there to help.
