According to police, the 1am carnage happened after the orange-loaded truck lost control and overturned at Bulyantete Village as it was headed to Kampala from Jinja City.<\/p>\n

\u201cBodies of 9 people have been retrieved from the accident scene and taken to Kawolo Hospital mortuary while 3 injured persons are receiving treatment at Kawolo Hospital,\u201d Ssezibwa Region Police spokesperson Helen Butoto told Monitor<\/b> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police say majority of the victims were passengers who had allegedly concealed themselves inside the truck using a tapline to avoid being noticed by traffic police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victims suffocated after getting trapped by the angle bars when the truck overturned. The victims had tried to conceal their identity by hiding inside the tapeline that covered the truck,\u201d a police statement reveals.<\/p>\n

The identity of the victims was not known by press time.<\/p>\n
