Five people have been severely injured in an accident that occurred on the Kajjansi-Busega road on the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway.
This was after a speeding Fly Express taxi attempted to overtake a Coca-Cola truck in the wrong lane, hence causing a heavy crash.

“Our team and the police are on-site, working to manage the situation and clear the road safely,” Ssempebwa said.
