Former East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) speaker, Dan Kidega, is hospitalized in Kampala after being seriously injured in a car crash on Saturday, March 27.

“Dan’s accident was serious,” said Kidega’s brother Norbert Mao on Sunday afternoon.

“He (Kidega) had a head on collision with a FUSO Lorry. His car went off the road and rolled. He was taken to TMR Hospital in Naalya. He is unconscious.”

Police are yet to disclose the scene of the accident. Mao said Kidega sustained injuries on his head, right arm and left leg. According to TMR’s Dr. Erasmus Okello, Kidega’s brain rotated a bit on impact and got grazed on the rough surface of the skull. That led some bleeding in the brain. However, the scan shows that Kidega is out of danger.
