20 children killed in bus crash in Uganda

A bus carrying students from King David Junior School in Kampala, Uganda, overturned on Friday, resulting in the deaths of 20 children and one adult. The incident occurred as the group was returning from a trip to Sipi Falls. According to police, the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to strike a large stone and overturn. The crash injured three adult males and several juveniles. Uganda has a documented history of poor road safety, including a fatal bus collision last year that killed 46 people and a national fatality rate of 5,144 deaths in 2024.
