RUBANDA, UGANDA – A swift police response followed a fatal road accident in Mugwarubale village, Rubanda town council, on April 27th, 2025.
The accident, which occurred at approximately 3 pm along the Kabale-Kisoro road, involved a white and green Man trailer (UBN 553L/UBF 738X) and a red Bajaj Boxer motorcycle (UMA 678AX).
Tragically, a passenger on the motorcycle, identified as 38-year-old Akwankwasa Brain, a Mukiga resident of Kabirizi Rubanda town council, died at the scene.
The motorcycle rider sustained injuries and was rushed to a nearby health center for treatment; their identity remains unknown at this time.
