Summary The US Embassy rushed the American out of the country.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Police in Kenya say an American diplomat crossed the center line in his SUV while speeding and rammed a mini-bus full of passengers, killing a father of three whose wife is six-months pregnant.
The U.S. Embassy rushed the American out of the country, leaving the crash victims with no financial recourse. Latifah Naiman Mariki, now a 38-year-old widow, said Friday that she was almost evicted from her house this week after her landlord demanded rent. Mariki s deceased husband, Haji Lukindo, was the family s only source of income.
Hilary Renner, a State Department spokeswoman, said the embassy extends its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes a speedy recovery to those injuries. She said the embassy is fully cooperating with Kenyan authorities investigating the accident.
