# Twenty school children and one adult have been killed in a bus accident in Uganda’s Kapchorwa District. Several others were injured. Preliminary investigations show the bus suffered a mechanical fault before the driver lost control on Chekwatit Hill, resulting in the vehicle veering off the road and hitting a large stone before overturning. The bus was carrying learners from King David Junior School, who were returning from a study tour. Minister of Local Government, Balaam Ateenyi Barugahara, says an investigation into the crash has been launched.
