The accident happened at Kyarushowe swamp along the Masaka-Kampala highway.

Nampiima said that the cause of the accident has been attributed to the driver of the Toyota Wish who left his lane and moved to the lane of the Fuso, causing a head-on collision.

The occupants have been identified as Bwesigye Cleopus, a police officer attached to the crime intelligence department of Katwe Police station in Kampala, together with his family members, identified as Nyagoma Silomena, aged 3 years, Nyakato Falestine aged 3 years, Kiiza Darliton aged 1 year, Kemigisha Maria Gorreti, a female adult, and Twesigye Chripus, aged 31.

The bodies have been conveyed to Masaka City Mortuary for postmortem examination.

“We continue to remind all road users to be vigilant while using the roads and further call upon all road users to change their attitude while using the roads,” she said.
