Mathias Dusabimana 50 is the principle anesthetic officer at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital. He was driving along with Byukusenge Federensi aged 22 years when the truck hit their vehicle.
Tragically, Byukusenge, a student at Kabale University passed away last night at St. Francis Hospital Mutolere after sustaining serious head injuries causing internal bleeding to the brain.
Kigezi region Police Spokesperson Elly Maate said the cause of the accident is suspected break failure on the side of the fuel tanker.
The driver who has been identified as Abdikadil, 35 of Kenyan Origin is still at large after evading Police arrest.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to Kisoro Hospital for Postmortem and later handed over to the relatives for a decent burial.
St. Francis Hospital Staff who spoke to www.vomuhabura.com said Mathias Dusabimana is steadily recovering.
He was admitted with several cuts to the head however tests from the X- ray revealed that he did not sustain any internal injuries.
Agaba Denis, brother to the victim said Government needs to consider putting speed breaks at that corner because it is a dark spot for speeding drivers.
Traffic in Kisoro also cautioned all road users to desist from putting their vehicles in neutral or what they call free when driving because the braking system is likely to fail resulting in serious road accidents.
