About 50 passengers that were heading to Kisoro town from Kampala were involved in an accident when the bus they were traveling in lost control and overturned at Mubwindi trading center in Muko Sub County in Rubanda District early on Thursday morning.
The Rubanda district police commander Mr Tai Ramathan said that the accident happened at about a half past midnight on Thursday. He added that the bus, Reg No UAV 119U belonging to Bismarkan Bus Company was heading to Kisoro from Kampala and none of its occupants died.
Ramathan added that one passenger sustained serious injuries and was rushed to Kabale regional referral hospital for medical attention together with those who had sustained minor injuries.
“The cause of the accident is reckless driving because the bus driver failed to negotiate the sharp corner. I appeal to the drivers on this Kabale-Rubanda-Kisoro road to always observe traffic rules and regulations, avoid over speeding and be aware of the night mist that usually covers the road especially in the valleys and corners. Putting on fog lights can also help the drivers that use this road during night hours,” Ramathan said.
Last week the Rubanda District vice chairman Mr Silver Baguma sustained serious injuries on the same Kisoro-Kabale road after he failed to negotiate a sharp corner as he rushed to attend the district council executive meeting.
