Kigezi Sub-region police spokesperson Nelson Tumushime urged drivers, especially those operating passenger service vehicles, to prioritize road safety and ensure they are fit to drive before starting long journeys.
“We encourage our bus drivers to be mindful of passengers’ lives. They should rest properly to avoid fatigue and must not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” Tumushime said.
Police confirmed that no major injuries were reported. They used the incident to remind motorists about speeding, fatigue, and impaired driving, which remain leading causes of road accidents in Uganda.
