A man lost both legs yesterday after falling off a cargo train transporting petrol to Nanyuki. Murang'a South Police Commander Alex Shikondi said the man, who was going to Murang'a for New Year celebrations, jumped off the train for fear of arrest at Maragua terminus. "He miscalculated and failed to land far from the train and rails...he was run over just below the knees...doctors amputated the stubs to control the injuries," said Shikondi.
