Only one lane between Busega and Masanafu along the Kampala Northern Bypass is in use following a fire incident.
Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire says that the authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to ascertain the cause of the fire.
He, however, said that the territorial Police at Natete, in collaboration with the Fire Prevention and Rescue Services, swiftly responded to the fire outbreak that occurred at 4pm and put it out.
This was after a fuel tanker with registration number KBL 022A and ZD 3482, driven by Ismail Umar, a 27-year-old Kenyan national, caught fire.
“While the cause of the fire is yet to be determined, our dedicated officers responded promptly to the scene. The Fire and Rescue Services team has managed to contain the fire, and efforts are ongoing to fully extinguish it,” Owoyesigyire says.
He reassured road users who depend on the by-pass that one lane is currently open and usable for motorists, ensuring minimal disruption.
