Wilson Tumwine and two aides were hospitalized on Tuesday after their vehicle hit a barrier at the entry to the Games Village around 2200 local time.

"The car carrying Uganda officials met with an accident at the village gate barrier. The security barrier was raised unexpectedly which caused damage and injuries to the officials," Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell told reporters on Thursday.

"We regret the incident and it's being investigated."

Games organizing committee secretary general Lalit Bhanot said the officials were first taken to the polyclinic inside the Games Village and then to a city hospital.

Tumwine and one of his aides needed stitches, but the three were released on Wednesday afternoon.

"I am shocked and surprised. But I am fine now," Tumwine told Reuters on Thursday. "I am going to raise the issue at the chef de missions meeting tomorrow."
