Kenyan Man Killed in a Motorcycle Accident in Kent, Washington

A Kenyan man in Kent, Washington died on Saturday, May 12th after crashing a motorcycle into a curb.

Antony Karanja, 41, of Kent, had reportedly climbed onto a friend’s motorcycle to take a picture.

Karanja asked the friend if he could take the bike, a 2016 BMW S1000 for a spin outside a church parking lot and take a few pictures riding the bike. Karanja however lost control of the bike, hit a curb and was thrown into a fence striking his head, according to Ed Troyer, the sheriff department’s spokesman.

Although he regained consciousness before paramedics arrived, Karanja later died of his injuries.
