At least 22 individuals have sustained injuries following a collision involving a passenger bus, a container truck, and a fuel bowser in the vicinity of Nittambuwa.
The accident unfolded in the Kajugama area, situated along the Colombo-Kandy main road. Law enforcement authorities have reported that the injured victims are currently undergoing medical treatment at Wathupitiwala Hospital.
The initial collision transpired between a passenger bus, which was traveling from Ampara to Colombo, and a container truck, resulting in a head-on collision of immense impact. The situation further exacerbated as a container truck, en route to Colombo, subsequently rear-ended the already beleaguered bus.
Four of the injured individuals have been classified as being in critical condition. These casualties have been admitted to the Wathupitiwala Base Hospital, where medical teams are working tirelessly to provide them with the necessary care.
