Ugandan police have confirmed the death of a 23-year-old Rwandan truck driver, Muhire, who died in a road accident in Kabale District, near the Uganda-Rwanda border.

Elly Mate, the spokesperson for the Uganda Police Force in the Kigezi region, reported that the accident occurred at the Kyanamira trading center along the Mbarara-Kabale highway.

Muhire was driving a Sinotruk truck from Mbarara to Kabale when he lost control of the vehicle at Kyanamira, causing it to veer off the road on Saturday.

According to Mate, the accident was caused by brake failure, which led to the truck overturning. Muhire died instantly at the scene.

His body was taken to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital for a post-mortem examination before being repatriated to Rwanda.

The body was taken to hospital for postmortem.
