Nasty Kamdini Corner accident leaves 15 dead, injured wallowing in pain
The cause of the accident is yet to be established but preliminary findings indicate that the wrong parking by the trailer driver with no warning signs could have led to the accident.
Police in Kamdini have registered a nasty accident where lives have been lost and an unspecified number of victims rushed to Atapara Hospital for treatment.
In a statement released by Patrick Jimmy Okema, the North Kyoga Police Spokesperson, it’s alleged that Bus Registration Number UAT 259P which belongs to Roblyn Bus Company was travelling from Kampala to Gulu when it ramped into a stationary trailer.
“At around midnight of the 6th January 2023, along Kampala-Gulu highway, it is alleged that the trailer was loading at Adebe trading centre just one kilometre to corner Kamdini checkpoint,” he said.
According to Okema, Police traffic and general duty officers visited the scene immediately after receiving the report and later confirmed 11 people died on the spot while 4 others died at the hospital.
It has, therefore, been confirmed that a total of 15 dead bodies and yet to be identified number of victims were rushed to Atapara Hospital whereas some are still in critical condition receiving treatment.
Police say the bodies of those who died have been conveyed to Anyeke Health IV pending postmortem.
The cause of the accident is yet to be established but preliminary findings indicate that the wrong parking by the trailer driver with no warning signs could have led to the accident.
