The nasty accident involved a motor vehicle Reg UAT 259P belonging to Roblyn Bus Company that was travelling from Kampala to Gulu when it rammed into a stationary trailer UAZ 381A/UBD 318C, killing 12 people on the spot while four died moments after reaching the Atapara Hospital.

It’s alleged the trailer was loading at Adebe trading centre just one kilometre to corner Kamdini checkpoint when the incident occurred.

“The identities of the deceased and the injured are yet to be established. Some of the victims remain in critical condition at Atapara Hospital where they are receiving treatment,” said Jimmy Patrick Okema, Regional Police Spokesperson in North Kyoga (Lira).

He said the bodies of the deceased were conveyed to Anyeke Health IV pending postmortem.

According to Okema, the cause of the accident is yet to be established but preliminary findings indicate wrong parking by the trailer driver with no warning signs.

“It’s a very unfortunate incident. We call for calm from members of the public. Our condolences to the bereaved families.”
