How the accident involving Chepkam happened
Doctor Kelvin Kipchirchir Ufa told TUKO.co.ke that the car went off the road and rolled several times, leaving the occupants with minor injuries.
For luck good, no deaths reported. Speaking at the scene, the witness of the incident known as Festus Bett said.
“This car was running, it didn’t collide with any car at all, it only went to the side.”
Eyewitnesses recounted how Chepkam’s cry for help attracted nearby bodaboda drivers and locals, who rushed to the scene to help him.
The traffic police have not yet made an official statement about the cause of the accident, but news sources say that speeding may be the cause.
What is Chepkam’s condition after the accident?
Chepkam is said to be on the mend, and fans across the Rift Valley have wished him a speedy recovery.
The incident comes several weeks after the entertainer went viral on the internet by releasing a video in which he mocked runaway men, saying he would never date them.
“I don’t want anything to do with poor men. They smell bad. When broken men talk, all I hear is bullshit. Poor men are loud and messy.” he said.
His comments caused a stir on social media, with many slamming him for being callous and insensitive.

Social media users have used the incident to remind him to always appreciate those above and below him.
Caren Chelangat said:
“That’s why the beautiful woman said she doesn’t want people to be confused, today she was given first aid and no one said Bob, who is God?”

“Even broken men contribute a lot to the Kenyan economy. They still support the strong and independent regardless.”
Kosgei Shillah
“I think he didn’t say the wrong thing. What he meant was that men should work hard. Poverty is a bad thing in our society. Anyway, get well soon.”
