”Both riders were pronounced dead at the scene. Efforts are underway to have their bodies taken to Mulago City Mortuary,” he added.
Furthermore, Byakuleka’s death sparked an outpouring of grief across social media, with fellow creatives and fans mourning the loss of what many described as a rising star in visual storytelling. The accident adds to a growing number of motorcycle-related fatalities in Uganda.
According to the Uganda Police Annual Crime Report 2024, motorcyclists accounted for 1,720 deaths in road crashes, representing 33% of all traffic fatalities that year. When combined with motorcycle passengers, the figure rises to 2,334—nearly 47% of the total.
In conclusion, the report attributes the majority of crashes to reckless riding, speeding, and poor road conditions. However, we encourage road users to be very vigilant when using their means of transport.
