Witnesses who talked to local media said that the driver of the Volcano bus switched lane crashing into Oxygen bus at around 4:00 a.m local time, the accident also claimed the lives of both drivers.

Some of the injured were taken to Kabale regional referral hospital. Several other victims were rushed to different health units in Rukiga and Ntungamo districts.
