💨 Abstract

A passenger bus plunged off a cliff in Sri Lanka's hill country on Sunday, resulting in eight fatalities and over 30 injuries. The incident happened near Kotmale, east of the capital Colombo, in a mountainous region. The driver was also injured and hospitalized. The bus was operated by a state-run travel company. Deadly bus accidents are frequent in Sri Lanka, mainly due to reckless driving and inadequate road conditions, particularly in mountainous areas.
