Fatal crash in Uganda kills more than 40 people

At least 46 people were killed when four vehicles crashed on a highway in western Uganda in one of the worst motor accidents in the East African country in recent years. Police initially gave the death toll as 63 in a statement sent to reporters, but later revised it to 46, saying in another statement that some people found unconscious at the crash scene were actually still alive. “At the time of the crash, several victims were found unconscious, and some may have been mistakenly included in the initial fatality count,” the statement said. Several others were injured in the crash that happened after midnight local time, early on Wednesday, on the highway to Gulu, a major city in northern Uganda.
