World javelin champion Julius Yego is in a stable condition and undergoing tests at an Eldoret hospital after being involved in a high-impact accident that wrote off his week-old sports utility vehicle (SUV) on Sunday night.
Yego was driving his brand-new Toyota Prado on Kapsoya Road near Equity Bank at around 10pm when the accident happened.
He was alone in the vehicle.
The extensively damaged SUV (pictured above) was towed to the Eldoret Central Police Station, with police on night duty preventing journalists from taking photos of the mangled wreckage.
Yego was rushed to Mediheal Hospital in Eldoret Town where he was kept overnight for tests and observations.
Hospital officials declined to talk to journalists, although Yego, in a Facebook post, assured his fans that he was fine and out of danger.
Journalists were not allowed to talk to the world javelin champion, with the hospital’s management saying he was undergoing tests and needed overnight rest and observation.
“God is living and great! I’m OK my people. Can’t believe am alive. @mungu yupo! I’m in stable condition,” Yego posted on Facebook.
