Six people have been confirmed dead, and three others were injured in a road crash that occurred this morning on June 12, 2024, at 6:10 AM at Kakiika along the Ntungamo-Rukungiri Road in Ntungamo District.
The crash involved two vehicles: a Toyota Hiace (license plate UBN 337H) and an Isuzu bus (license plate UAP 385U) belonging to Kasaaba Bus Company.
According to the initial report, the Toyota Hiace, traveling from Rukungiri to Ntungamo, suffered a tyre puncture and parked on the right-hand side of the road with part of the vehicle still on the tarmac and its lights on.
While attempting to fix the tyre, a bus traveling from Kampala to Rukungiri veered off the road and collided head-on with the parked Hiace.
The collision instantly killed six people, including the Hiace driver, the turn man, and a police officer from Nsangi Police Station, and injured three others.
Traffic police responded promptly, transporting the injured to Devine Health and Ntungamo Specialist Medical Centres for treatment.
The bodies were taken to Rwashameire Health Centre IV for post-mortem examinations.
Both vehicles have been towed to Ntungamo Central Police as investigations begin.
