Witness Mathew Owire reported that the lawmaker, who was driving alone, died on the spot after his white SUV lost direction, plunged into a ditch and collided with a tree.
Owire narrated that the lawmaker suffered severe head injuries and was bleeding profusely, leaving no chance of survival.
Onlookers, including Owire, managed to pull Hamisi’s body from the wreckage before the police arrived to secure the scene.
The car, which sustained extensive damage to its front, was later towed to a nearby police station.
Owire explained that when he got to the scene of the accident, Hamisi was already unconscious, his head stuck in the car door, which could not be opened.
He asked for help from others nearby, and by the time the police officers arrived, the body had already been removed, and the authorities took charge of the situation.
