The driver is currently on the run.<\/p>\n<p>The deceased are two women who are yet to be identified. The injured are cyclists who are also yet to be identified.<\/p>\n<p>Eyewitnesses said the driver of a Toyota Premio knocked a woman who was crossing the road at Kijjabwemi trading centre killing her on the spot before ramming into a motorcyclist at Kyabakuza bus stage in Kimaanya\/ Kabonera Municipality.<\/p>\n<p>After the crash, the driver reportedly sped off in attempt to elude a police patrol vehicle in pursuit. However, he rammed into another motorcycle, killing a female passenger.<\/p>\n<p>The chairperson of boda boda cyclists in Kimaanya \/Kabonera Municipality, Mr Ibra Kiyimba said: \u201cI saw him (saloon car driver) speeding, and I suspected something was wrong with him, but I managed to rush to the second scene which was a few metres from Masaka Central Police Station. We rushed our colleague to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital but the passenger he was carrying died on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Masaka District Police Commander, Mr Moses Nanoka confirmed the crash but dismissed claims that the second accident was caused by the action of the traffic police patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always warned motorists against speeding but they are adamant. A big number of such road crashes are as a result of human errors which can be minimized,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
