KAMPALA: At least 15 people died instantly on Sunday night when a trailed collided head-on with a taxi in Kagadi district.
Police said the taxi was heading to Kagadi from Kyenjojo while the trailer was coming from the opposite direction.
Police also said the three passengers who were in the trailer as well as four others from the taxi were critically injured and admitted to Kagadi Hospital.
Julius Hakiza, the police spokesperson for Albertine region, said the trailer was in dangerous mechanical condition yet it was speeding.
He strongly warned drivers who “think they use the roads the way they want because there are no traffic officers on roads at night.”
“Passengers should call our toll free lines if they see that the driver is putting their life in danger,” he added.
