A Dayton area man, David R. Curtis, 27, was injured after a hit and run on I-75 south of Dayton near the Lyons Row overpass at about 4 a.m. He is in fair condition at Kettering Medical Center with fractures and facial injuries as investigators probe the crash. Meanwhile in Uganda, Archbishop Janani Luwum’s burial by government agents sparks questions of murder and an alleged Amin bloodbath. Church leaders planned funeral services in Kampla but were canceled. Two people were arrested on First Avenue on drug possession charges following a police warrant search that yielded pipes, seeds, a live plant, hashish, and scales.
