Dozens dead as Sri Lanka train hits bus

[Guest guest]

COLOMBO (Reuters) - More than 50 bus

passengers were feared dead and about 40 injured after a train rammed into the

vehicle at a level-crossing in Sri

Lanka on Wednesday, officials

said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

None of the passengers

and crew on the crowded morning train were hurt, a railway official said, but

it was one of the island's worst rail disasters in years.

" The Colombo-Kandy

inter-city express train collided with a commuter bus. We fear close to 60 have

died, " said a spokeswoman at the police emergency centre in Colombo.

The crash took place

around 8:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) at a level-crossing in Polgahawela town, about 60 km

northeast of the capital, she said.
