Adverbs of degree

This accident happened just after midnight on one of Uganda's busiest motorways between the capital Kampala and the northern city of Gulu.

Our Africa correspondent, Barbara Platasha told us more about what happened.

It took place just after midnight on a major motorway north of Kampala.

So what police have said is that two buses heading in the opposite direction both tried to pass the vehicles in front of them at the same time.

Now one of the bus drivers swerved to try to avoid a head on collision.

in the swerving he managed to sideswipe a vehicle and that caused the vehicles, the two vehicles, a lorry and an SUV, to lose control and overturn several times.

A number of the people taken to hospital were unconscious, so perhaps some severe injuries as well.

And what the police have said, they are still investigating the site and waiting to hear more from the hospitals about the state of the of the casualties.

But they put out an urgent warning saying really everyone needs to take care, especially in dangerous and careless overtaking on the motorways, they said, which is one of the main reasons for crashes in Uganda.
