Mukono Police Division is probing a fatal road crash that claimed three lives and left nine others injured on Tuesday night, May 20, 2025, along the Kampala-Jinja Highway in Wantoni, Mukono Municipality.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango, the 9 pm accident involved several vehicles, including a Fuso truck registration number UBB 422U, three Toyota Hiace taxis (UBP 359W, UAW 042E, UAQ 398L), and multiple motorcycles bearing registration numbers UFL 976T, UFN 916P, UEU 698W, UDK 495B, and UDZ 777A, among others.
Preliminary findings point to brake failure as the likely cause of the crash. Onyango explained that the Fuso driver allegedly lost control, veered into the opposite lane, and rammed into taxis and motorcycles stationed at a taxi stage.
“Three people died on the spot—two unidentified male adults and a male juvenile,” Onyango confirmed. He added that nine people sustained injuries and were rushed to various health facilities.
The injured include Paul Ssaku, Bakiti Zafafu, Bashi Sazza, Gerald Lubega, Jackson Kakumirizi, Aisha Nasaza, Irene Nafuna, Denis Lubega, and Juliet Bisirikira, among others. The Fuso driver reportedly fled the scene and is currently on the run. Police have launched a manhunt and are continuing with investigations to apprehend the suspect.
