President Obama’s Grandmother Recovering After Car Accident
President Obama’s grandmother, Sarah Obama, is home recovering at her home in western Kenya after an accident that, judging by the condition of the vehicle, could have been much worse.
“God is with me, because if you could have seen the wreckage that we came out of safe, one would wonder,” Sarah Obama said Monday. Police in the town of Kisumu say the 91-year-old was traveling to her home in the village of Kogelo Saturday night when the driver lost control, and the vehicle rolled into a ditch.
All five people in the car, including her two bodyguards, were taken to a hospital for treatment. All were released with minor injuries. A hospital spokesperson says Sarah Obama was bruised and in shock when she arrived at the hospital. She was released about two hours later.
