Two people have been killed and two others injured in a fatal road crash involving three vehicles along the Kampala–Gulu Highway in Luweero District.

The crash occurred at about 1:30am on Saturday at Naluvule and involved a white Fuso truck, registration number UBA 879L; a red Sino truck, registration number UBJ 984L, which was loaded with sand; and a red Mercedes Actros, registration number CGO 6435AC/07.

Savannah Regional Police spokesperson ASP Sam Twineamazima said preliminary investigations indicate that the Fuso truck, which was travelling from Kampala towards Luweero, rammed into the broken-down Mercedes Actros.

“It is alleged that the Fuso mounted the broken-down Mercedes Actros and fatally struck its passenger,” Twineamazima said.

He added that the oncoming Sino truck was forced to swerve to avoid a head-on collision.

“Strong lights from the oncoming Sino truck contributed to the collision. To avoid a head-on collision, the Sino truck diverted off the road and overturned,” he said.

Police said the overturned Sino truck killed passengers who had been seated on top of the sand it was carrying.
