මැදවච්චියේ බස් රථ තුනක් එකට ගැටී බිහිසුණු අනතුරක්

Daily Mirror, Rupavahini News, Tamilmirror, Newsfirst, Newswire, Ada Derana (සිංහල) and Hiru News report a collision involving three buses in the Rambewa area of Anuradhapura. Daily Mirror and Newswire place it near the Rambewa–Welioya junction on the A9 road; Rupavahini News describes the location as the Medawachchiya–Anuradhapura road. Newsfirst reports that the vehicles were two Sri Lanka Transport Board buses and a private bus.

Outlets differ on the toll. Daily Mirror, Tamilmirror, Newsfirst (தமிழ்), and Newsfirst’s later English update report five deaths; Newsfirst’s earlier report, Newswire’s further-details update and Hiru News report four. Injury counts also vary: Newsfirst’s earlier account and Newswire report 76 injured, another Newsfirst report says more than 40, Tamilmirror says more than 50, and other Newswire updates give 70 or around 20. Rupavahini News says injured people were taken to hospitals.

Newsfirst reports that preliminary police investigations attributed the crash to dangerous and negligent driving by one of the bus drivers. Newsfirst (தமிழ்) attributes the report of five deaths and more than 40 injuries to a police spokesperson. Newsfirst’s Sinhala report says the four people reported dead included two women and a bus driver; it identifies the driver, but this update does not name people involved.
