Two motor cyclists who were riding at a terrific speed died instantly after they had head on collision at the junction that connects from Bugonga zone to Airforce Airbase just near Penniel Beach hotel.
The incident occurred on Friday April 18, 2025 at half past 6pm and claimed the lives of two riders including a journalist attached to the national television. The deceased include Byakuleka Saad, a.k.a Saadshot, a celebrated photographer and videographer plus a yet to be identified boda boda rider.
The celebrated journalist who was in a group with his fellow bikers was riding a motor bike registration number UEO 292N when he rammed into a bajaj boxer registration number UDY 402Z. Both riders died instantly.
According to eyewitnesses at the scene of accident, the journalist who was over-speeding didn’t break at the Airbase junction and eventually ended up knocking a boda rider who was crossing at the junction.
It’s reported that the journalist and his fellow bikers were heading to Lido beach to enjoy Good Friday though he didn’t reach as he died a few meters away to his final destination.
Later, the soldiers around the Airbase called Entebbe police that visited the scene and bundled the lifeless bodies on the police truck and drove them to the city mortuary for post mortem. While the wreckages of the two motor cycles were towed to Entebbe police station.
However, the traffic police at the scene could not comment on the incident saying they are not authorized to do so.
