Wreckage of the Fuso truck

The accident occurred on Friday along the Mbarara-Masaka highway in Sanga town council. It involved a Fuso lorry registration number UBB 905J which was from Masaka and another lorry UBG 727P loaded with matooke heading to Mbarara. 

Samson Kasasira, Rwizi Region police spokesperson identified the dead as Eric Mugabe, 48, a resident of Kyazanga in Lwengo district and Abubakari Gumisiriza – both drivers of the trucks. 

Bosco Karimunda, an eyewitness, says both drivers failed to negotiate a sharp corner which they approached at high speed. Kasasira says preliminary investigations point to reckless driving by both drivers, as the cause of the accident.
