Mitchell Jelimo Kemboi tragically died in a car crash last Friday in Taita Taveta county.
They were travelling as a family to the Serengeti National Park for the Easter holiday when their family car hit a stationary trailer that had broken down on the road, but had not put up any content.
Jelimo died on the spot while the rest of the family was hospitalised.
There were five in the car at the time of the accident. The hospitalised family members have been involved with the victim.
