Two people were killed while another sustained serious injuries following a road crash at Namasa village in Nakasongola district along the Kampala–Gulu highway.The deceased were identified as 17-year-old Emirina Bukirwa and an adult male identified only as James, both of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.According to Savannah regional police spokesperson Sam Twiineamazima, preliminary investigations indicate that the crash occurred after a Toyota Sienta, registration number UBM 906X, travelling from Gulu towards Kampala, rammed into the rear offside of a stationary low-bed truck, registration number UAP 609R/UAQ 816C, before veering off the road.The driver of the Sienta, identified as 35-year-old Prossy Nansamba, sustained serious injuries and was rushed to St Francis health centre in Migyera for treatment.Twiineamazima said the truck had reportedly been parked partly on the road, obstructing nearly half of the lane used by vehicles heading towards Kampala.The bodies of the deceased were taken to Nakasongola health centre IV pending postmortem examinations.According to Twiineamazima, preliminary findings indicate that the stationary truck had no visible warning signs or safety markings placed around it, a factor investigators believe may have contributed to the crash.Both vehicles were later towed to Migyera police station as investigations into the incident continue.
