Bus Plunges 1,000 Feet in Sri Lanka, Killing 15 and Injuring 16

A passenger bus plunged nearly 1,000 feet off a cliff near Wellawaya, killing 15 people and injuring 16 others — including 5 children. Police say the driver was speeding, lost control, and crashed before the bus toppled into the precipice. Rescue crews worked through the night in dangerous terrain. Deadly bus crashes are frequent in Sri Lanka’s mountain regions due to reckless driving and poor roads.
