A WOMAN DIED AFTER A FUEL TANKER VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND FELL ON HER.
The 5am incident according to Teso North sub-county police commander David Muange happened as a bus travelling from Nairobi to Kampala, Uganda stopped at the Koteko roadblock near Kocholya to allow passengers to disembark and ease themselves.
The fuel tanker is said to have veered off the road to avoid hitting the stationary bus that belongs to Grand Company from the rear end.
The woman killed was easing herself at the roadside at the time the incident happened.
The driver of the bus who had also disembarked to take a short call was hit by the tanker but managed to escape with minor injuries.
