At least 42 people were injured when a Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) bus veered off the road and fell down a precipice near the Diyatalawa railway station early Saturday morning.
According to reports, the accident occurred at around 1:10 a.m. local residents and police officers rushed to the scene to rescue the trapped passengers who were admitted to the Diyatalawa Base Hospital.
Hospital officials confirmed that while most are in stable condition, two sustained serious injuries, resulting in one critically injured patient being transferred to the Badulla Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
