The accident occurred when a Fuso lorry registration number UAP 038X carrying over 50 traders together with their merchandise from Masindi town heading to Bugoigo market in Buliisa district lost control at Butiaba Escarpment in Butiaba Sub County and veered off the road overturning several times.
UPDF Marine brigade and traffic police immediately rushed and evacuated the injured victims to Biiso and Butiaba health centers while others have been rushed to Masindi and Hoima Hospitals in critical condition.
It is said that the driver of the vehicle failed to negotiate a sharp corner prompting the vehicle to veer off the road overturning severally.
Nicholas Ali-gan-yira, the LC5 Councilor for Biiso sub county who rushed to the accident scene regretted the incident saying several accidents have occurred at the same place including a truck that was delivering relief items to Buliisa from the Prime Minister’s office hence cautioning drivers plying the Hoima-Biiso-Wanseko road to be extra careful especially at the Butiaba escarpment.
