A fatal road crash has occurred this morning along the Masaka–Mbarara highway at Kyazanga, leaving four people dead on the spot.
The accident involved a trailer, registration number KDL 791T, which was traveling from Kampala towards Mbarara, and a boda boda, registration number UDT 812X. According to preliminary reports, the motorcycle was carrying four occupants at the time of the collision.
Eyewitnesses say the trailer rammed into the boda boda, killing all four riders instantly due to the impact. Police and emergency responders were notified and arrived at the scene to document the crash and manage traffic flow along the busy highway.
The bodies of the deceased were later retrieved and taken to a nearby health facility for postmortem as investigations into the exact cause of the accident commenced.
This tragedy comes shortly after another fatal road accident that recently occurred along the Kiruhura road, where multiple lives were also lost in a separate crash, highlighting growing safety concerns on major highways in the region.
Authorities have since urged motorists and boda boda riders to exercise extra caution, observe traffic regulations, and avoid reckless riding and driving to prevent further loss of life.
