21 die as school bus crashes in Uganda

A school bus carrying students from King David Junior School in Kampala, Uganda, crashed while returning from a trip to Sipi Falls, resulting in 20 child fatalities and one adult death, according to Ugandan police. The incident occurred on a poorly maintained highway, highlighting the country's longstanding issues with road safety. Preliminary reports indicate the driver lost control, causing the bus to overturn after hitting a large stone. The crash injured three adult males and several juveniles, with victims currently receiving medical treatment. Fatal bus accidents are frequent in Uganda, with over 5,144 deaths recorded in 2024 alone, including a previous collision in October that killed at least 46 people.
