One person has died, and three others injured following a road accident at Kakondi Village in Wabinyonyi Sub-County, Nakasongola District, along the Kampala–Gulu highway.
The deceased has been identified as Paul Kizito.
The injured are Jeremiah Kasozi, Gerald Muwonge, and Livingstone Kabirikango.
The accident occurred after a collision between a Fuso truck, registration number UBG 709A from Gulu toward Kampala, and a Subaru Outback, registration number UBP 149S, heading towards Gulu.
It is reported that the Subaru driver crossed to the opposite lane, colliding head-on with the truck, which was in the middle of its lane.
Savannah Region Police spokesperson Sam Twiineamazima confirms that Kizito, the Subaru driver, died moments later while being transported to Mulago Hospital.
He adds that the injured victims were taken to Nakasongola Health Centre IV for treatment.
Twiineamazima notes that the force has towed both vehicles to Katuugo Park yard for inspection as Inquiries continue. He asks road users to stay vigilant and follow traffic rules.
Road accidents are still an issue in the Savannah Region especially along the Kampala-Gulu highway.
For instance, on October 2025, Uganda Radio Network [URN] reported that the police in Luwero District had launched a manhunt for the driver of a bus that collided head-on with a Fuso truck, killing three members of one family.
The fatal crash occurred near the weighbridge station at Nakkazi in Luwero Town Council, along the Kampala–Gulu Highway.
The deceased were identified as Moses Nyongo, his wife Swabura Nakanyike, and their two-week-old baby, Fazil Kintu. They were residents of Kiyenje zone in Luwero town council.
According to police, the accident involved a red and white Yutong bus operated by ECO Company, registration number SSD 251Z, which was traveling from Gulu to Kampala.
The bus reportedly attempted to overtake three vehicles in a reckless maneuver and veered into the opposite lane, colliding head-on with a white Mitsubishi Canter truck, registration UAV 920Q. All three occupants in the truck died.
The bus overturned into a roadside trench, leaving several passengers with injuries ranging from critical to minor.
