I don't believe parts of his story. Especially the details of the immediate events following the accident. How long it takes him to get medical attention. Those are embellished.
But overall I tip my hat off to this Negro.

Robert, 26, recalls the 1993 incident in Nyamira that almost shattered his dreams: “I was on my way home from nursery school when I was run over by a road grader. Almost one and half decades later, the memory of that incident remains vivid in my mind. Unconscious after the accident, I still have no idea how I got out from under the grader, or how I am alive today.”
The young man owes his life to his brother and to God. His brother, Charles, who was in Class Seven at the time, was on his way back to school after lunch when he met a pupil saying that a child had been run over by a tractor. Eager to find out more, he went to witness for himself. That is how he found out that the victim was his younger brother.
Battered, Robert lay trapped between the blades of the grader, he seemed unconscious, no part of his body was moving.
“The scene was a distance from home and my parents were in the ‘shamba’. With no time to waste, I and my neighbours pulled him from underneath the grader. We bundled his seemingly lifeless body into a gunnysack and set out on a 15-kilometre trek to the main road to seek help. He was a bloody mess: His arms and leg had been severed; only strips of skin held them together,” Charles recalls.
