KAMPALA, Uganda — A police spokesman says 22 people are dead after a speeding passenger bus struck a tractor and then a beer truck on its way to Uganda’s capital.
Emilian Kayima says in a statement that 14 others were injured in the crash Friday evening near Kiryandongo town.
Police dispute a Uganda Red Cross statement that the crash killed more than 40.
Motor accidents frequently occur in the East African nation where roads are often narrow and potholed.
