Three family members have perished in a motor accident at Kanaba corner along Kabale-Kisoro road in Kisoro district.

The deceased have been identified as Wilson Hatanga, 72, Evalist Semahane, 55, and his son Charles Mutabaazi, an employee of Entebbe Airport (security section). The injured is Pronia Nyirabasanza, 55, Semahane’s wife.

The incident occurred at Kagano village in Kanaba sub-county on Friday evening at around 6 pm when a Toyota Hilux Double Cabin registration number UAK 705X in which the victims were travelling lost control and rolled down the hill.

Kigezi Region Police Spokesperson Elly Maate says that Hatanga and Mutabaazi died on the spot while Semahane died shortly after arrival at St Francis Mutorere Hospital in Kisoro municipality.

The victims were reportedly travelling to the village from Kampala to attend a traditional marriage ceremony of their relative. The bodies of the deceased have been taken to Kisoro Hospital Mortuary for postmortem.

The place where the accident occurred is a common black spot. On June 5, Hillary Namanya, the Programs Manager of Rukundo International, a Local Non-Government Organization in Kabale and his wife, Barbra Natukunda died after their vehicle, a Toyota Mark II registration number UAG 044 M failed to negotiate the corner and swerved off the road before rolling several times.
