Four teenagers died in a road accident in Uganda on Friday, moments after filming themselves on a road trip and uploading the video on social media.
Ugandan police have confirmed the incident involving the four, who were students at Ndejje Senior Secondary School.
The accident occurred at Bajjo village along the Kampala-Gulu highway after their vehicle – registration number UAR 860W – rammed into a stationery truck.
