On 25 May 2018, a serious collision occurred between a bus, which was travelling from Lira to Kampala, and a tractor, in the Kiryandongo district of Uganda. The incident took place along the Lira-Kampala highway. At least 22 people, including four children were killed.[1][2] According to authorities, the crash occurred at around 8:00Шаблон:Nbsppm in Nanda village, approximately Шаблон:Convert from Karuma, Kiryandongo District.[3]

The commuter bus collided with the rear of the tractor; this impact subsequently caused the bus to careen and roll, resulting in a further collision with an oncoming articulated lorry, which was transporting crates of beer.[4]

The tractor, which was driving without lights[4] at night, was largely cited as the cause of the accident.[1]

Aftermath

The government declared three days of mourning, and president Yoweri Museveni directed that the families of those who perished in the accident be compensated with USh Шаблон:Shilingi for each family and those who were critically injured would receive Шаблон:Shilingi each.[5][6]
