Northern Uganda police spokesman Johnson Kirama says two
buses hit each other head on about 50 km from Uganda’s border in Southern Sudan
on Friday. He says 17 Ugandans and 11 Sudanese were among the dead, and more
than 20 people were rushed to a hospital near the border.
Kirama says that the buses collided because the bus driving
from Uganda to Southern Sudan was on the left side of the road, as is the law
in Uganda, but in Southern Sudan, vehicles are to drive on the right side.
Police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said that Ugandan police
officers rushed to the scene of Friday’s morning accident.
According to Ugandan police at least 2,000 people die from
road accidents every year.
