While reporting the third bus accident in two days, another bus carrying a group on a picnic overturned on the Nuwara Eliya-Kandywara road at Helboda, Katukitula area, injuring eight persons.
The Pussellawa police said the injured have been admitted to the Kothmale and Pussellawa regional hospitals for treatment. According to hospital sources, their conditions were not serious.
A group of 22 persons from the Puttalam area met with this accident while they were on their way to Nuwara Eliya on a picnic.
According to the police, the bus hit a mound on the side of the road and then rolled over due to the driver of the bus falling asleep.

It looks like an accident session in Sri Lanka ? Why one by one all happens ?.what is the logic to follow one driver another driver in this fatal accident series? Is there any psychology behind this ? Drivers must take extra care before we hear another one .. We don't blame them for this but take some care

Something has to be done about these drivers. They are never stopped by police for reckless driving. Most are driving under the influence. Why don't police conduct breathalyser tests like they do on motorists?

Buses are owned by the policemen and politicians.

They carry a mini shrine in almost all hiring vehicles but no respect to the gods around mostly the drivers are either under the influence of alcohol or drugs and mental alertness is at minimum level or missing. Strange no one notice when they are falling asleep
