At least 34 senior four students of Kitooro Academy in Masaka district were on Friday involved in a fatal accident.
One student, John Bosco Iga, 18, died at Masaka hospital hours after he had been admitted.
The accident occurred at about noon at Old Kumbu near Auntie Rachael primary School when a Canter Lorry, no. UAD 170D on which they were travelling, failed to climb a hill and overturned.
The excited students, who were singing as they travelled, had just completed their ‘O’ Level exams at Masaka Secondary School where they sat from and were returning with their property.
A few others had remained at the school to complete the afternoon Islamics paper.
The students were rushed to hospital, some in critical condition, with fractured limbs. Ends
