A truck from Tororo carrying cement to Kampala collided with a commuter taxi at about 5:30 pm leaving all the occupants of the taxi dead. The truck driver and the conductor took off after the truck landed on the taxi making it difficult for any passengers coming out alive.

The truck drivers are believed to have been over speeding and taking beer at the time of the accident. The accident blocked traffic from all ends of the road for several hours before disentangling the vehicles.

The rescue team was able to retrieve five bodies. The rest were crushed to pieces.
