Southern Expressway Bus Fire

4 posts 4 threadsJul 19, 08:00 PM 0 1 3

A luxury passenger bus caught fire on the Southern Expressway near Kurundugahahetekma, causing significant traffic disruptions. The incident led to highway closures and vehicle diversions in the Colombo to Galle route.

Nothing says "luxury passenger bus" like becoming a mobile barbecue on the expressway—at least the passengers got the full grill experience they paid for. Meanwhile, Twitter's out here treating traffic diversions like breaking news alerts for a royal wedding.
