Meanwhile, tragedy struck on the Iganga-Bugiri Road at Nabitovu when a fuel tanker collided with a cement trailer, resulting in a devastating fire that claimed two lives.
The accident occurred when the driver of the fuel tanker lost control and veered off his lane to the opposite side, crashing into the cement trailer, forcing both vehicles into flames and trapping the occupants inside.
The driver of the cement truck and a female passenger were unable to escape and burnt beyond recognition but the fuel tanker driver managed to escape with his life.
Locals blamed the accident on reckless driving and the narrow road, which has been a concern of the residents.
However, the occurrence of the incident was seen as a grace to a section of the locals as they plundered sacks of cement in the pretext of offering help to offload them.
May the souls of the deceased rest in peace. END
