Two people were killed and nine others injured on Tuesday afternoon in a fatal crash at Nkoowe along the Kampala–Hoima Road in Wakiso District, police said.
The crash happened at about 1:33 p.m. and involved four vehicles: UBK 495F Sino Truck, UAT 272J T/Hiace, UBB 353D Subaru Forester and UBE 918T Toyota Wish.
Preliminary findings show the Sino truck, which was carrying stones and heading from Kakiri to Kampala, lost control at Nkoowe and rammed into the other vehicles, including a commuter taxi that had stopped to pick up passengers. The driver and conductor of the taxi died on the spot, while nine passengers — five adults and four juveniles — were injured and taken to a nearby health facility.
