One person was killed on Thursday evening after being hit by a speeding lorry in the Kasese area of Muhoroni Sub-County, triggering outrage among residents who set four lorries ablaze.

The deceased was reportedly standing by the roadside when the lorry struck him.

Preliminary reports indicate that the accident may have occurred as vehicles attempted to overtake at high speed, with two vehicles approaching from opposite directions.

Angry residents reportedly torched four lorries following the incident, accusing drivers of routinely speeding along the road and endangering lives.

The lorries are used to transport building materials for ongoing road construction projects in the area. Residents have reportedly raised concerns over the vehicles’ alleged excessive speed.
