Three-Vehicle Crash Kills Four, Injures Nine Others

Four people have been killed and nine others injured in a three-vehicle collision along the Kampala–Gulu Highway in Nakasongola District. The accident occurred at about 10:30 pm on Monday, November 9, 2026, at Walusisi Village in Migyera Town Council, involving a truck, a Toyota Hiace commuter vehicle, and an Isuzu truck.

Savannah Regional Police Spokesperson Sam Twiineamazima said the crash occurred after a truck, registration number CGO 0778AC 07, reportedly broke down and obstructed the lane from Gulu towards Kampala. According to Twiineamazima, the driver of a Toyota Hiace, registration number UA 154FQ, which was travelling from Gulu, approached the scene at high speed and attempted to overtake the stationary truck.

However, an oncoming Isuzu truck, registration number UAL 445H, was also approaching as its driver attempted to manoeuvre past the broken-down vehicle. In an attempt to avoid a head-on collision with the Isuzu truck, the Hiace driver reportedly swerved back into his lane but rammed into the rear offside of the stationary truck.

The Isuzu truck subsequently struck the rear offside of the Toyota Hiace, causing its driver to lose control and veer off the road. Police said four men died at the scene, while nine other people, all passengers in the Toyota Hiace, sustained injuries. Police officers responded to the incident and evacuated the injured victims to Nakasongola Health Centre IV for treatment. The bodies of the deceased were also taken to the facility’s mortuary.

The wreckage of the Toyota Hiace was towed to Migyera Police Station, while the other two trucks remained at the scene pending towing. Police have detained Vision Muhindo, the driver of truck registration number CGO 0778AC 07, at Migyera Police Station as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash continue.
