    This sort of events will never stop until we fix our roads. Our roads are over crowded with impatient people who always want to go fast. Dear law makers, please fix our roads.

    I saw this in the morning.. it was a jeep and really did doubt anyone survived that with the look of it.

    RIP :-(

    Unbearable loss to the parents! Two lives in their prime to leave this world so soon is a real tragedy. May the souls RIP!!

    The tragedy continues. More often than not a commuter bus is involved. They care for their fare more than peoples lives.Has anyone seen a bus being stopped by traffic police? Why???

    ISN'T THERE ANY ONE IN "RATA ACCIDENT KARAVANA THANA' TO PROPOSE REMEDIAL ACTIONS FOR THIS TYPE OF THINGS.

    Was the bus on the wrong side of the road

    Inoka Makalanda Saturday, 23 August 2014 11:46 AM

    Mr. Premalal, I agree with you! As a constant outstation Traveler, I know that buses are never stopped; only Trishaws. Bikes & other vehicles are stopped for a mere reason like going 1km more than specified. The buses race on the roads and policemen are blind to them; We know why................

    Police Karaya Monday, 25 August 2014 01:34 AM

    Because most of these bus owners are our friends who were in the Police force. Why should they stop their own busses. They can break all the rules and drive crazy because they know their own busses will not be stopped. This is the honest truth... !! I don't have a bus....

    Sad to hear that the kids were actually intoxicated... I really hope this is not the case

    Andy, it's best not to state anything if you don't have any evidence regarding such things. They were NOT intoxicated!!
