<\/p>\n
Maate identified the injured persons as; Phionah Kamikaz and Hamina Jasibu, both residents of Kagarama in Kigali Rwanda, Eridoni Mageto, also a conductor on the bus, David Nyaga, the driver of the bus and Peter Omboga, all Kenyan nationals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Moses Kwehangana, a resident of Kyonyo village, the area was covered with fog when the accident occurred, which could have affected the visibility of the drivers. \u00a0 Maate says police have started investigations to ascertain the cause of the accident and the deceased’s body and the injured were taken to Kabale Regional Referral hospital.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are investigating to establish the right cause, but what I know between that time of 4-6am, because of the terrain of this place, there\u2019s always mist that makes drivers not to see clearly and there is a likelihood that drivers also get fatigued and they sleep but not also ruling out that these drivers who are used to keeping right could have also had the same problem\u201d Maate explained in a phone call with our writer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
