According to a statement released by ASP Faridah Nampiima, the spokesperson of the Traffic and Road Safety Directorate, the bus Reg. No. UAX 283A belonging to Global Coaches, which was moving at high speed swerved off-road as it tried to give way to Canter Truck Reg. No. UBJ 648J.<\/p>\n

“The accident which occurred at around 1040hrs Friday morning involved a global bus which was traveling from Kampala to Mbarara and a Canter Diana that was coming from Masaka to Kampala. In the process of giving way to the canter which was overtaking recklessly, the bus swerved off-road and overturned injuring three people,” she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Nampiima added that the victims were rushed to nearby clinics for first aid treatment and the Canter truck was impounded and its driver arrested.<\/p>\n

Investigations into what could have caused the accident are still ongoing.<\/p>\n
