A collision involving two buses on one of Uganda’s busiest highways resulted in at least 63 fatalities, according to police reports on Wednesday. The incident occurred shortly after midnight along the stretch connecting Kampala, the capital, to the northern city of Gulu.
Preliminary findings indicate that the crash was caused when two buses traveling from opposite directions attempted to overtake other vehicles—a truck and an SUV. During the maneuver, both buses collided head-on, leading to devastating consequences.
The accident claimed 63 lives, with all victims being occupants of the vehicles involved. Emergency responders are working tirelessly to recover the injured and retrieve those who did not survive from the wreckage.
