Mr Sulait Mukiibi, a boda boda rider at Kijjabwemi, a Masaka City suburb, said he heard a loud bang about 300 metres away, a few minutes after bypassing the spot where the accident occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew that something tragic had occurred, I rode back, only to find shattered glasses and a strange whirring of a vehicle engine. Victims were crying for help, but some had already died,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Southern regional traffic police commander Godfrey Mwesige gave a different version of how the accident happened. According to Mr Mwesige, it was the trailer that was trying to overtake the bus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true there were many people in the taxi, but we are still gathering information, some victims could have been riding on boda boda; others could have been in the trailer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He blamed the accident on human error by the driver of the trailer.Mr Mwesigye\u2019s assertions were corroborated by Mr Salim Ssekidde, a witness. \u201cIt is the driver of the trailer who caused the accident. He tried to overtake a speeding bus in a blind corner yet the taxi was also coming from the opposite direction,\u201d Mr Ssekidde said.<\/p>\n<p>The driver of the trailer and another unidentified person, who sustained injuries, are the only survivors of the carnage. Both were still admitted to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital by press time, according to Mr Muhammad Nsubuga, the Southern regional police spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is still very difficult to identify majority of the deceased persons because they did not have identification documents. We have publicised this accident in Sembabule, where we presume majority of them came from, so that relatives can come to the mortuary at Masaka hospital and help us identify the dead,\u201d Mr Nsubuga said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Worrying statistics<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Uganda is one of the African countries with the highest rate of road accidents, according to the Global Status Report on Road Safety 2013.<\/p>\n<p>A 2019 survey by Makerere University School of Public Health revealed that about 9,000 people perish in road accidents annually in Uganda, a number three times higher than that declared by the police.<\/p>\n<p>According to 2020 police annual Crime and Traffic\/Road Safety report, on average at least 10 people die in Uganda every day due to road accidents .The report says a total of 1,146 motorcyclists were killed in motor accidents last year compared to the 1,064 killed in 2019 . On a general note, the report says 3,269 accidents were fatal 5,803 were serious and 3,177 were minor.<\/p>\n<p><b>RECENT ACCIDENTS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>February 2, 2021. 10 people died and more than 33 were critically injured in an accident at Kanyansi between Hima and Rugendabara on Kasese- Fort Portal road.<\/p>\n<p>March 8, 2021.
