Uganda school bus crash kills 20 children and 1 adult

A school bus crash in eastern Uganda resulted in the deaths of 20 children and one adult, with over a dozen others injured. The incident occurred as the bus was returning from a field trip to Sipi Falls. In response, the Ugandan government has suspended all school trips and excursions indefinitely. Preliminary reports suggest the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to overturn after hitting a large stone. The crash site is located near the Uganda-Kenya border, approximately 300 kilometers from Kampala. The victimized adult is believed to be the school's founder and head. Rescue efforts were aided by local residents before official teams arrived. Uganda faces ongoing challenges with road safety, with frequent accidents attributed to factors such as speeding, poor vehicle maintenance, and hazardous road conditions.
