At least 20 children and 1 adult killed in a Uganda elementary school bus crash

A school bus carrying students from an educational tour in Uganda overturned and crashed, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 children and one adult, according to police reports. The incident occurred in the Kapchorwa District on Thursday night while the bus was returning from a visit to Sipi Falls. Survivors, including three adults and multiple children, were transported to hospitals, with at least nine children in critical condition. The bus, owned by King David Junior School in Kampala, was reported to have lost control, veering off the road and striking a rock before overturning. The crash highlights ongoing concerns about road safety in Uganda, where poor vehicle maintenance, speeding, and inadequate infrastructure contribute to frequent fatal accidents.
