Two Dead, Three Injured in Five-Vehicle Kabalagala Crash

What the report says

Two people were killed and three others injured in a multi-vehicle crash along Kiwempe Road in Kabalagala, Kampala, according to Nile Post. The accident happened around 9:20 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, near the Ggaba Road area and involved four motor vehicles and a motorcycle. A nearby commercial building was also damaged in the collision.

Traffic police spokesperson Michael Kananura said the vehicles included an Isuzu truck, a Fuso Fighter, a Volvo, a Toyota Super Custom and a Boxer motorcycle. Based on preliminary findings cited by the publisher, the Isuzu truck was carrying construction materials and was descending from the Lukuli side when it reportedly developed a brake problem. The driver then lost control and struck several vehicles and the motorcycle before stopping against the Fuso.

Nile Post reported that the truck driver and the motorcycle rider died from their injuries. Three other people, including a passenger in the truck, were seriously hurt and were taken to Mulago National Referral Hospital. The bodies of the deceased were sent for postmortem examinations.

Kananura used the incident to remind motorists to check that their vehicles are mechanically sound, especially on steep roads, and to avoid overloading. The crash highlights the risks posed by brake failure and other vehicle defects in busy urban traffic, particularly on hilly routes.
