Two Kenyan Men Killed in a Car Crash in Newark, Delaware

Two Kenyan men died in a car crash that also killed a third man in Delaware early Saturday morning. 25-year-old James Ogachi of Cary, North Carolina and 26-year-old Kelvin Mwangi of New Castle, Delaware were killed in a car crash along Old Baltimore Pike in Newark, Delaware.

Delaware State Police say Ogachi was driving a 2015 Hyundai Sonata east on Old Baltimore Pike at around 2:07am Saturday and crossed the centerline, hitting an oncoming Chevrolet Suburban. The Suburban caught fire, killing the driver, Fransisco Rodriguez, of Newark, Delaware.

Ogachi and Mwangi, who was his passenger on the front seat, had to be extracted from the wreckage by firefighters. They were rushed to Christina Hospital where they both died. A third man who was in Ogachi’s car was hospitalized with serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.

Mkenya Bandai, keep talking smack as your scratch your itchy ashey, back side. We live in a 24 hour economy, they could have been heading to or from work. Next time consult me before you post your arrogance here, shenzi sana!

This is sad, my sincere sympathy for the families and friends of the departed.
On the same breath let me say its beyond foolishness to attack and profile victims with such ignorance...
People work late, People conduct businesses late at night I do, you do; and that does not make us drunks.
Its pathetic that we can spew such harsh words at such a time as this without any sympathy.. were you drinking with them...?

Well I was drinking with some 4 chaps I met in the pub and I left them at around 11p. Many Kenyans rarely call ubers after stupor drinking. They drive themselves home. Not sure of the victims here though. Another city where Kenyans drink like frogs and drive is Houston, Texas and Washington DC...SMH

We all do not know what happened. Let’s be slow with judgement. More painfully, 3 young lives were snuffed out prematurely; may they rest easy.

I worked nights for one and a quarter decades. Its not a pleasant situation. Used to dose and loose control sometimes. Cause(s) of death comes in many forms and shapes. Mkenya Halisi, it doesn't matter how/why they died. They simply: painfully. Wait for yours. To their families, poleni sana. Its so painfully to loose a loved one, brother, a friend. Being there before. RIP.
