The incident has nevertheless highlighted the dangers faced by motorists and travellers, particularly those using roads at night.

Growing concern over paver attacks

The reported attack comes at a time when the use of stones and pavers in attacks against motorists has attracted renewed public concern.

Such attacks can put drivers and passengers at serious risk, particularly when they occur at night.

Jowy and her team were fortunate to escape without injuries after deciding to keep driving instead of stopping at the scene.

Incident comes after David Owori’s death

The frightening experience comes just hours after the reported death of SC Villa captain David Owori, who was reportedly attacked by suspected robbers using pavers while returning home at night in Makindye.

Owori’s death has also raised concerns about the safety of people travelling at night, particularly in areas where motorists may be vulnerable to roadside attacks.
