A tragic road accident occurred in Kyakatebe, Kassanda District, involving a Link Bus and a taxi, resulting in several feared fatalities. The crash happened on a Sunday evening when the Link Bus, which was stationary by the roadside, was struck by the taxi that was reportedly overtaking other vehicles at high speed. Initial reports indicate that the taxi driver's reckless maneuver led to the collision, raising concerns about road safety in the area.

Link Bus Services, the company operating the bus, stated that its bus, registered as UBE 535H, was traveling from Fort Portal to Kampala when the accident took place. Importantly, they confirmed that all passengers and staff aboard the bus are safe. However, the taxi driver apparently jumped out of the vehicle just moments before the crash and fled the scene, complicating efforts to determine the cause and full consequences of the accident. As the situation unfolds, both Link Bus Services and local authorities remain focused on understanding the details surrounding this incident.

The local police have yet to release an official statement regarding the exact number of casualties or any injuries stemming from the collision. Accident scenarios such as this highlight ongoing safety concerns on Ugandan roads, particularly with the increasing number of vehicles and the necessity for stricter enforcement of driving regulations to prevent future tragedies of this nature.
