World Javelin champion Julius Yego has been discharged from Mediheal Hospital hospital in Eldoret after he was involved in an accident last night in the town.
Yego broke down in tears saying he is lucky to be alive after the accident in which he collided with a lorry near a petrol station along the Eldoret-Nairobi highway. His newly acquired car was extensively damaged.
A consultant at the hospital Dr Florentius Koech said the athlete only suffered bruises.
