Two people died on the spot and three others sustained serious injuries in a road crash involving five vehicles along Kiwempe Road, off Ggaba Road in Kabalagala, Kampala.
The accident happened at about 9:20am on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, involving an Isuzu truck, a Fuso Fighter, a Volvo, a Toyota Super Custom and a Boxer motorcycle. A commercial building was also damaged.
According to preliminary police findings, the accident occurred when an Isuzu truck carrying construction materials and descending from the Lukuli side towards Kiwempe Road reportedly developed a mechanical fault in its braking system.

The motorcycle rider and the Isuzu truck driver died at the scene, while three other people, including a passenger who was travelling in the truck, sustained serious injuries.
The injured victims were rushed to Mulago National Referral Hospital for treatment, while the bodies of the deceased were taken to the mortuary for postmortem examinations.
