A private bus with 50 passengers on board veered off the road while negotiating a bend at Kurundankulama along the Anuradahapura- Matale road and crashed into a wayside garden wall and overturned this morning, causing injuries to at least 27 passengers including 19 women.

The injured, several of them in serious condition, were admitted to the Anuradhapura hospital. A spokesman for the hospital said the passengers who sustained minor injuries were discharged after treatment.
