A road accident involving two buses on one of Uganda's busiest highways has killed 46 people and left others injured.
Ugandan police revised down the death toll from 63, saying some victims found unconscious at the scene had been erroneously included in the initial toll.
The crash happened just after midnight on the highway between the capital Kampala and the northern city of Gulu, police said on Wednesday.
Initial investigations suggest it was caused by two buses coming from opposite directions trying to overtake other vehicles, a truck and an SUV.
"In the process both buses met head-on during the overtaking manoeuvres," the Uganda Police Force said in a statement on social media platform X.Â
President Yoweri Museveni sent condolences to the victims while campaigning for January's general election not far from the place where the accident happened.
