A trailer has on Monday morning rammed into Centenary Bank, Bugiri Branch, leaving employees and clients sweating in panic.
The accident occurred at around 4 a.m, when the trailer ( said to have been transporting cement from Tororo district) registration number UBD 091C/UBD 669H lost control and rammed into the building located on Grant street, along the Iganga-Tororo Highway, destroying the building, furniture, waiting area, Cash tills, and the manager’s office.
A bank employee who spoke on condition of anonymity says that there were no casualties. “Although it occurred early when some of the bank staff like cleaners and guards are around, none of them was injured, but we only suffered damage to physical property,” he says.
Police have cordoned off the area to carry on with investigations. James Mubi, the Busoga East police spokesperson says that a driver has since been arrested to help in investigations into the actual cause of the accident. According to Mubi, the driver, whose identity has been withheld for fear of jeopardising investigations, is being probed for drunken driving and over speeding.
