Rwampara Member of Parliament Charles Ngabirano is nursing fractured ribs.
This, after a Thursday accident on Mbarara-Kabale Road.
His Political Assistant and brother, Stephen Bebuuze said the accident happened on Thursday at around 10.30 am in Rukyekye, about six kilometers from Mbarara town.
“He is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He sustained four fractured ribs but he is out of danger,” Bebuuze said Thursday.
The MP was heading to Rwampara district headquarters for the swearing in ceremony of the interim political leaders. Bebuuze said Mr Ngabirano was traveling in a single cabin Land Cruiser which lost control and over turned.
He added that the other two occupants of the vehicle; Wareen Rugogamu and the driver only identified as Kaconco escaped with minor injuries.
Rwizi Region Police Spokesperson Samson Kasasira told the Daily Monitor that Ngabirano was first rushed to Mayanja Memorial Hospital for computed tomography (CT) scan and later transferred to Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital.
He added that Police are investigating the cause of the accident but preliminary investigations show that no other vehicle was involved.
Rukyekye is a flat section and the road is newly tarmacked.
