Kenya International goalkeeper Patrick Matasi has this afternoon been involved in a grisly road accident along the Kapsabet-Nakuru highway.
The Saint George custodian was returning to Ethiopia after a short holiday in his native home in Kakamega.
The former AFC Leopards, Tusker and Posta Rangers keeper was traveling with his family from Kakamega to Nairobi when the accident occured. A close friend of the family who spoke off the record says the vehicle they were traveling in, a Mazda Demio, rolled severally along Lessos, in Kapsabet, along the Nairobi-Kakamega highway.
“They are all injured but out of danger,” the friend said.
The vehicle is also badly damaged.
Latest reports indicate the player and his family received first aid at a clinic in Lessos, before being transferred to a hospital in Kapsabet where they received stitches to their wounds.
An ambulance has since transferred them to Kakamega Referral hospital where the injured will undergo a number of scans.
