Update on Kigogwa accident
@Patrickonyango1 "Tragedy struck today in Kigogwa Town along Kampala Bombo road when a fuel tanker overturned and caught fire, claiming the lives of 11 people, including 9 adults and 2 minors. The victims were burnt beyond recognition.
The fuel tanker, with registration number UAM 292Q, was traveling from Kampala to Gulu when the accident occurred. Unfortunately, people who rushed to siphon fuel from the tanker were the most affected.- Four buildings housing nine shops were destroyed in the blaze. Properties worth millions of shillings were lost.
The injured were rushed to nearby health facilities for treatment.-
Police are conducting a fact-finding mission to confirm the number of injured persons from the health facilities.
The identities of those affected have not yet been established.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with fuel tanker accidents and the importance of exercising caution when dealing with hazardous materials. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
