From The Church Times-
THREE Ugandan bishops were injured in a car accident this week on the Fort Portal to Kyenjojo road, and the wife of one of them was killed. Last week, on the same stretch of road, the Bishop of Rwenzori, the Rt Revd Patrick Kyaligonza, aged 46, who had been tipped as a future archbishop, died in an accident.
The Rt Revd Patrick Gidudu, of Mbale, the Rt Revd Augustine Salimo, of Sebei, and the Rt Revd Daniel Gimadu, of North Mbale, were taken to hospital on Tuesday after their vehicle crashed. They were on their way to Bishop Kyaligonza’s funeral. Bishop Gimadu’s wife died instantly, Amanda Onapito, the director of communications for the Church of the Province of Uganda, told Episcopal Life Online.
Bishop Kyaligonza, who was consecrated on 22 February 2009, had been travelling to an aunt’s funeral when he died. His wife, Rose Kabahita Mujungu, suffered fractured legs in the crash, and his chaplain, Moses Tembo, was critically injured, Uganda’s news website The New Vision reported. The driver, Patrick Isingoma, received minor injuries.
The Archbishop of Uganda, the Most Revd Henry Orombi, who was visiting Uganda Christian University on Monday, where Bishop Kyaligonza had studied theology, said: “We thank God that we have a person to pray for and remember. In life, people come and go. We shall always remember the legacy left behind.”
The diocese of Bristol is linked with the Church of the Province of Uganda. Last week, the Bishop of Bristol, the Rt Revd Michael Hill, said: “My wife, Anthea, and I were with Bishop Patrick and Rose and their dear family three weeks ago in Fort Portal. News of his death and Rose’s injuries is a very deep shock.

I feel sad to learn about the death of Ugandan bishop on the Fort Portal to Kyenjojo road. It was a too tragic incident. But car accidents can be very traumatic & in most cases result in death. So even if you are not seriously injured you can make a car accident claim. It is the insurers of the person responsible for the accident have to decide whether to accept the claim, and what compensation to offer you. It is therefore in your better interest to consult a good personal injury lawyer who can represent you thereby giving necessary support & negotiate the settlement quite effectively.
