A 38-year-old woman, Annet Nandhose, and her three-year-old daughter, Doreen Nakkazi, were killed early Sunday morning in Luwero district after a trailer detached from a moving truck and rammed into their house. The crash occurred at about 5:00 am at Ngogolo village in Butuntumula sub-county along the Kampala–Gulu highway. The trailer truck, registration numbers SSD 908A and SSD 909A, was travelling from Gulu toward Kampala at the time of the incident. Savannah Regional Police spokesperson Sam Twiineamazima said the rear trailer detached upon reaching Ngogolo village, veered off the road and crashed into a residential building, killing two occupants and injuring two others. “The trailer veered off the road and crashed into a building where family members were sleeping, killing two people on the spot and injuring two others,” Twiineamazima said. The injured were identified as Samuel Kigwe, the husband of the deceased, and Jovan Kalule, a teenager. Both were rushed to hospital for treatment. The bodies of the deceased were conveyed to Luwero hospital mortuary for postmortem examination. Police said the truck was towed to Luwero Police Station pending inspection by the Inspector of Vehicles (IOV) as investigations into the crash continue. The incident is the second fatal accident recorded in Luwero district within two days. On Friday night, three people died and eight others were injured in a head-on collision after a lorry attempted to overtake a long queue of vehicles. The crash occurred at Nkonde village near Kalule trading centre along the Kampala–Gulu highway. It involved a Toyota Hiace taxi, registration number UBR 333S, travelling from Kampala to Amolatar district, and a lorry, UBG 873K, loaded with poles and heading toward Kampala from the Luwero side. The stretch between Luwero and Nakasongola districts along the Kampala–Gulu highway has, in recent weeks, registered frequent fatal crashes. Police attribute the accidents to reckless driving, drink driving, vehicles in a dangerous mechanical condition and narrow road sections, among other factors. According to the Luwero District Health report for 2024/25, at least 475 people were admitted to health centres after sustaining injuries in motorcycle-related crashes, of whom 21 died. The report also indicates that 13 of the 181 people admitted following other road accidents succumbed to their injuries.The post Woman, 3-year-old daughter killed after trailer detaches in Luwero appeared first on The Observer.
