Eighteen school students together with one adult (rumored to be the founder of the school) died following a fatal accident involving their school bus in eastern Uganda on its way back from a field trip at Sipi Falls to Kampala. The accident that happened close to Chekwatit village killed twenty children and injured several others, where nine of them were in critical state. The reason behind the accident seems to be that the driver lost control of the bus and it turned over due to collision with a big stone.
