UPDATE: Police has issued a statement in regard to yesterday's fatal accident that claimed lives of two FINS Medical University students and three staff members.

In a brief social media post, police says the accident happened at Kibeede in Mugusu town council, Kabarole District, at around 10pm after the FINS' Van Reg. No. UAQ 436Q collided with a Bus Reg. No. UBQ 993G belonging to Skies Coaches.

The statement, however, doesn't tell the cause of the accident. But eyewitnesses say the bus, which was heading to Kasese side, seemed to have maintained its lane.

It's not yet clear how many people were injured following the accident.

At the time of the accident, the van for FINS was returning from Bunyangabu where the university's proprietor had organised a political gathering as he vies for the Bunyangabu County MP seat.

TRAGEDY: Five people including two students and three staff members of FINS Medical University are reported dead after being involved in a fatal accident.

The tragedy happened yesterday evening along Fort Portal - Bunyangabu highway after the FINS' van reg UAQ 436Q was involved in a collision with another vehicle whose details are still scanty.

It's reported that the victims had been ferried from Fort Portal to take part in processions aimed at congratulating the university's proprietor, Victor Kalenzi, upon his successful nomination to take part in the NRM primaries to contest as a flagbearer in the member of Parliament race for Bunyangabu Constituency.

The University Secretary, Patrick Ruhweza, in a social media post, said they are working with police to communicate to families of the deceased.

Though an accident, there is already rage in public with some people demanding to know why students had been involved in partisan politics, given the fact that one of the victims was even a final year medical student.

The accident is being investigated by relevant bodies.
