A Saturday morning accident along the Kampala-Gulu highway in Luwero town council claimed the life of Sgt John Bosco Ssenyimba, a police officer at Luwero Central police station (CPS).
Ssenyimba, who was riding a numberless Bajaj motorcycle was killed after a Toyota Hiace commuter taxi, reg no. UBJ 678J made a U-turn and crashed into Fuso Fighter Reg. No. UBJ 273Q near Dawson petrol station.
Both vehicles were destined for Kampala. Sam Twiineamazima, Savannah regional police spokesperson, says that they have since detained Frank Matovu, the truck driver. He says that the deceased’s body is lying at Luwero hospital mortuary pending a postmortem and the hunt for the unidentified driver of the commuter taxi is ongoing.
The accident follows another that killed one person on Wednesday night and injured eight others at Bujabe about 167km into Nakasongola district.
The accident happened after a commuter taxi rammed into a trailer. Both the taxi and the trailer were moving in the same direction from Nakasongola to Kampala city. By URN/The Observer
