Shock engulfed Machakos County as a woman threw her child out of a moving vehicle, minutes after she had given birth.
The young woman is said to have started experiencing labor pains along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway near the Machakos turn off.
According to Classic 105, several women traveling in the same matatu offered to help her as the matatu sped to Machakos General Hospital.
Midway there, the young woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
The baby, wrapped in clothes was handed to the mother.

Residents watched in horror as a car from the opposite direction ran over the baby, killing him instantly.
The woman was taken to the hospital.
Police officers arrived at the scene and took the remains to the mortuary.
Investigations into the bizarre incident continue with the mental state of the woman yet to be determined.
