Uganda head-on bus crash kills 63

At least 63 people were killed after two buses and two other vehicles crashed after midnight near Kiryandongo on Uganda’s highway to Gulu, police said, calling it one of the country’s worst recent road disasters. Police said the buses, traveling in opposite directions, collided head-on during overtaking maneuvers. Several others were injured; most are being treated at a nearby government hospital. A Red Cross spokeswoman described victims with broken limbs and scenes too gruesome to share. Police urged caution as fatalities rise, while a road safety advocate decried weak nighttime enforcement.
