Two Die, 13 Injured In Lubowa Taxi Accident

AT LEAST two people died and 13 others were critically injured on Saturday when their commuter taxi overturned at Lubowa on the Kampala-Entebbe highway, reports Geoffrey Kamali. The accident occurred as the driver attempted to overtake another vehicle and lost control trying to avoid a head-on collision with an on-coming truck, the Police said. "He (driver) tried to overtake but his speed was very high. It was a horrible crash," a witness said. One of the dead was identified as Moses Richard Sserunjoji, a resident of Katabi. The identity of the second victim, a boy, as well as those injured could not be established immediately. The group is said to have been coming from a funeral in Masaka. Ends
