Four female passengers are receiving treatment at Rugazi Health Centre IV in Rubirizi District following a serious accident on Wednesday morning at Nyakashaaru along the Ishaka-Kasese road.
Regional Police Public Relations Officer for Greater Bushenyi, SP Tayebwa Apollo, identified the victims as Twinomugisha Anner (28), Nalubega Shadita (21), Nakilarila Harriet, and a juvenile named Rahim.
SP Tayebwa said the accident involved an Isuzu bus, registration UBH 881B, belonging to Global Bus Company, which occurred at 6:10 a.m.
“We visited the scene and managed it according to standard procedures. The victims were taken to Rugazi Health Centre IV, where they are currently receiving medical care,” he said.
