Two SLTB Buses Collide, Over 30 Injured in Warakapola Accident

Over 30 individuals have been reported injured in the crash, with emergency services currently working to transport them to nearby hospitals for treatment.

According to the police, the accident took place a short time ago, involving two SLTB buses operating on the busy Colombo-Kandy route. While the exact cause of the collision remains under investigation, authorities have confirmed that the buses were traveling between Colombo and Kandy at the time of the incident.

In addition to the collision, several other vehicles have been involved in accidents along the same stretch of road, likely due to the chaos caused by the initial crash. This has resulted in significant traffic congestion, making it difficult for commuters to navigate the route.
