According to police sources, the incident occurred around 10:00 p.m. on May 24, 2025. The victims were traveling in a white Hilux vehicle toward Gulu via Lapai when, due to poor visibility and heavy rain, they veered off course and accidentally drove into a flooded stream.

The vehicle was also retrieved from the water and transported to a nearby police station for further investigation.
