At least 21 people killed when a bus heading for the Kenyan capital Nairobi crashed shortly after crossing the border from Uganda
The Ugandan government says it is planning to issue new measures to try to improve road safety after a surge in accidents in the East African country over the festive period.
Ugandan regional police spokesman Rogers Taitika told AFP news agency on Sunday that 21 people were confirmed dead after the accident on Saturday evening. The bus was travelling from the eastern Ugandan city of Mbale to Nairobi and crashed in the Kenyan town of Lwakhakha, just across the border from a Ugandan town of the same name.
Ugandan police say 104 road crashes were registered in just three days over the New Year period between December 30 to January 1 with 35 people dead and 114 injured, in addition to the victims of the latest January accidents.
