Four people have been confirmed dead following an accident that ocurred this morning at Katugo Town Council in Nakasongola along the Gulu-Kampala highway.
The deceased have been identified as Emmanuel Isingoma, Manuel Nyakato, Victoria Nalubwama and Benard Ntege.
Regional Police Spokesperson Sam Twineamazima said two vehicles: No. UAM 930P (Toyota Hiace) white in color and UBB 736C (Tata) were involved in the accident.
It’s alleged that the Tata Lorry got a mechanical problem at around 11pm last evening and parked in the middle of the road.
Unfortunately, the driver of Toyota Hiace coming from the same direction (of Gulu) lost his sight due to full light of a bus that was coming from Kampala and maintained his lane. He ended up ramming into the broken down vehicle killing four people on spot.
The bodies of deceased were taken to Nakasongola health center IV mortuary for postmortem examination while the injured were taken to st. Franciscan HC and later were referred to Mulago hospital.
