2018 Kiryandongo bus accident  On 25 May 2018, a serious collision occurred between a bus, which was travelling from Lira to Kampala, and a tractor, in the Kiryandongo district of Uganda. The incident took place along the Lira-Kampala highway. At least 22 people, including four children were killed. According to authorities, the crash occurred at around 8:00pm in Nanda village, approximately from Karuma, Kiryandongo District. The commuter bus collided with the rear of the tractor; this impact subsequently caused the bus to careen and roll, resulting in a further collision with an oncoming articulated lorry, which was transporting crates of beer. The tractor, which was driving without lights at night, was largely cited as the cause of the accident. The government declared three days of mourning, and president Yoweri Museveni directed that the families of those who perished in the accident be compensated with for each family and those who were critically injured would receive three million each.
