Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A 32-year-old boda boda rider was on Sunday knocked dead in Bugiri District by one of the cars in the convoy of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Martin Okoth Ochola who was en route to Kampala.<\/p>\n

Police said Yunusu Mukose, a resident of Mukuba zone, Bugiri Municipality was knocked dead by a Toyota Land cruiser registration number, UP 8517 that was leading the convoy of the IGP.<\/p>\n

The Sunday morning crash happened at Buwuni village in Bugiri District along Iganga -Tororo highway.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary findings indicate that at about 1100hrs at Buwuni village, along Iganga -Tororo highway, several vehicles slowed down as they approached the convoy of the IGP that was heading to Kampala from Tororo [District]. It\u2019s during that process that the rider of the motorcycle, ridden by Mukose Yunusu, dangerously tried to overtake a trailer and other vehicles, which put him in the opposite lane, where he collided with the lead motor vehicle of the IGP\u2019s convoy. The rider of the motorcycle died on spot and his passenger on the motorcycle whose identity is yet to be established sustained serious injuries,\u201d traffic police spokesperson, ASP Faridah Nampiima said in a Sunday evening statement.<\/p>\n

According to her, five crew members in the IGP\u2019s convoy also sustained injuries. The injured officers and the passenger were first admitted to Bugiri Hospital for medical treatment before being evacuated in a police chopper to Kampala for better treatment.<\/p>\n

Mukose\u2019s body was conveyed to Bugiri hospital mortuary for postmortem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IGP has reached out to the family of the deceased and conveyed his condolences. He also wished the injured passenger and his crew members a speedy recovery,\u201d ASP Nampiima said, promising to give more details later.<\/p>\n
