At least 29 people have been killed in the Ugandan capital after a car crashed into a fuel tanker, police say.
Many of those who died had rushed to the scene on a main road in Kampala to siphon off the fuel, they say.
Around 20 motorbikes were burnt - eyewitnesses say they were used to take people to collect the petrol.
Kampala is a key transit point for tankers taking fuel to landlocked Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
More than 20 people are said to be critically ill in hospital.
