Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The former Member of Parliament for Erute North in Lira District, Charles Angiro Gutomoi and three others have died in a road crash.<\/p>\n

The Saturday morning crash happened at Ayago along Karuma-Olwiyo-Pakwach-Nebbi road after the driver of the car they were driving in lost control before it overturned several times.<\/p>\n

Nebbi Resident District Commissioner (RDC) , Mr Robert Abak, said the victims were traveling for a traditional marriage ceremony at Unjuku ward in Nebbi Municipality.<\/p>\n

“The three died on the spot and others who are injured have been rushed for treatment at a nearby health center in Nwoya District. I haven’t confirmed how many people the vehicle was carrying at the moment and the type of vehicle they were traveling in,” Mr Abak said.<\/p>\n

But the MP for Otuke County and Onywal Ipyeda deputy clan head, Mr Paul Omara, also confirmed in a message to his fellow MPs that: “Colleagues, it is with deep sadness that I announce the death of Hon Angiro Gutomoi Abac Acon who died in a motor accident this morning near Olwiyo on the road to Nebbi.”<\/p>\n

Mr Omara added: “I am told they were travelling in a Noah car which overturned and four people died on the spot.”<\/p>\n

Gutomoi was the Awitong clan head of Onywal Ipyeda clan. He was also legislator in the 10th Parliament.<\/p>\n

By the time of filing this report, police were still in frantic rescue of the survivors as investigations into the exact cause of the crash continues.<\/p>\n

According to the deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, Gutomoi was known for his passion on issues of education, health, and rural development, among others during his time as a legislator.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery sad to learn of the death of Hon Angiro Gutomoi Abac Acon, who died in a motor accident this morning near Olwio on the road to Nebbi. I am told they were travelling in a Noah, which overturned, and four people died on the spot. Gutomoi was the Awitong( Clan Head ) of Onywal Ipyeda Clan. He was also the former MP for Erute North Consituency in the 10th Parliament. In the August House, Hon.
