Actor Kone Nouhoum is in critical condition after being involved in a tragic accident on Saturday at the geothermal site in Naivasha.

Kone, popular for his role as 'Reagan' in Maisha Magic East telenovela Selina, was rushed to a local hospital before being transferred to Nairobi Hospital where he is currently admitted in the ICU ward.

According to a source privy of the incident, Kone sustained serious neck injury and has been in and out of surgery since the accident occurred.

'FRACTURED SPINE'

"He has been in and out of surgery and the doctors won't know the damage until the swelling goes down, but what I can say is that his spine was fractured multiple times," said the source.

His family and fellow actors are appealing for financial support to offset the huge medical bill.

Kone has featured in KTN's TV series New Beginnings and a number of local programs including Mama Duka, This is Life, Joto and Mali.

His family has opened an M-Pesa paybill number 974569 for donations.
