An allegedly overcrowded bus carrying dozens of Buddhist pilgrims plummeted into a precipice in Sri Lanka on Sunday, killing at least 21 and injuring around 35, a senior official said.
COLOMBO: The accident occurred in the early hours of Sunday near the town of Kotmale, about 140km east of Colombo, in a mountainous area of central Sri Lanka, police said.
The roof and side panels of the bus were sheared off, and more than half the seats were ripped from the floor of the vehicle, which landed wheels up into a tea plantation, photos of the wreckage showed.
