Police hunt driver in Nkumba bus crash

The traffic police spokesperson, SP Michael Kananura, has said the Force has launched a manhunt for a driver of a bus that was involved in an accident last Friday.

The bus, carrying pupils of Trust Infant Primary School, Mpmedde, Nakaseke District, knocked a pick-up truck and crashed afterwards at the Nkumba traffic lights on the Kampala-Entebbe highway.

“The driver of the bus is currently at large and a police hunt is underway. The motor vehicles have been towed to Nkumba Police Station for further investigation,” Mr Kananura said in a statement at the weekend.

He added that the accident, which didn’t have any fatality, saw six pupils sustain injuries. The pupils were taken to a nearby medical centre for treatment.

Mr Tony Felix, a teacher at the school, said there were 58 pupils and eight teachers on the coaster that was heading for a trip first to Entebbe International Airport and would later proceed to Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, commonly known as Entebbe Zoo.
