A politician's convoy that was headed to President Uhuru Kenyatta's Sagana meeting killed disabled man along the Chaka Sagana road.
According to reports, Christopher Nderitu was run over by three vehicles 200 meters from his home in Karundas.
The decead's family in Nyeri County is seeking justice.
The widow, Fortunate Muthoni, appealed to the police to apprehend those responsible.
"My husband was disabled and I do not understand how someone like him could die like that," she wondered as she spoke to a local media house.
According the witness who was with Nderitu, one of the vehicles which hit the disabled man had tried to overtake on a speed bump.
The witness stated, "We saw the vehicles coming from Chaka at a very high speed. I cautioned Chris about how dangerous they were moving but he told me not to worry because he was sure they could see him and keep to their side of the road."
He added that the convoy hit the man as it did not slow down. The first vehicle threw him off his wheelchair after hitting him and the other two ran him over.
Nearby residents were attracted by the accident which also stopped the motorcade. They went to the aid of the man who unfortunately died.
Police officers rushed to the scene to clear the wreckage.
