Tragedy on Uganda's Roads: A Grim Reminder of Africa's Deadly Infrastructure The news from Kampala is heartbreaking: at least 20 children and one adult have died in a school bus crash, prompting the Ugandan government to suspend all school trips until further notice.
The tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the dire state of road safety in East Africa, where infrastructure related problems are common and deadly.
The accident occurred on Thursday evening when the King David Junior School's Suzuki bus veered off the road and overturned while returning from an excursion to Sipi Falls.
