Massive tragedy in Uganda: at least 20 students killed, dozens injured

At least 20 students and one adult died when a school bus overturned during a field trip in eastern Uganda, according to local authorities. The incident occurred in the area of Kapchorwa late Thursday evening and injured dozens of people, including school staff. Preliminary investigations suggest the driver lost control due to a mechanical failure. The bus was transporting students from King David Primary School in Ndejeu when it crashed around 8 PM local time in the village of Chekwatitu in the Kawowa region. Videos shared by parents show the severely damaged bus, while local residents rushed to aid the injured children. The students were returning from a study trip and had visited the tourist attraction of Sipi Falls, according to local media.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a tragic traffic accident involving students and provides factual information from local authorities and preliminary investigations. There is no evident framing that favors one side over another, and the content remains focused on the event itself without political commentary.
