Minibus, fuel truck collide in Uganda
A minibus that was speeding collided with a fuel truck in eastern Uganda, killing 30 people, a senior police officer said yesterday.
All but one of the 25 people in the minibus died instantly in the crash late Sunday near Kitega village, about 25 miles east of the capital, Kampala, said James Wakholi, local traffic police chief. A 2-year-old baby survived, he said.
Another five people suffocated to death from fuel fumes after jumping into a drain with other villagers to try to collect the fuel that had spilled from the truck, Wakholi said. Police had to fire into the air to disperse the villagers. The fuel truck did not explode, he saids.
