Kenyan Man from Pennsylvania Killed in a Truck Collision in Ohio
A Kenyan man passed away in Allen County, Ohio in a vehicle collision involving two commercial trucks.
Alex Wanjiru, 39, of Whitehall, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident that occurred at approximately 4:25pm on Wednesday on US 30 in Allen County, Ohio.
Ohio State Highway Patrol say a semi-tractor-trailer being driven by Mark Meyer was traveling eastbound on US 30 and was trying to make a left run onto a local road when his truck was struck by a box truck being driven by Alex. The impact caused both vehicles to veer off the roadway and rest on a corner of the intersection.
Alex was pronounced dead at the scene by Allen County Coroner’s Investigator Jamie Sizemore, while Mark was treated for minor injuries at the scene and released.
Authorities say the accident remains under investigation.

Honor your FATHER and Mother so that you may live long; Not just your mother. Or why Not use your GrandFATHER's name (for Surname) if you don't like or know your Father, or do not have one. RIP
From a child of a single mother:- you sound like an idiot
A**Hole
Heartless..!
@Honor, misquoting the Bible. There is nowhere in the Bible that tell people not to use their mothers name.
Am a Kenyan
The name sounds familiar but can't put a face to it
