Six out of the eight Sri Lankan nationals, who were injured after their mini bus collided with a truck on the Yamuna expressway in India, have been discharged from hospital while the other 2 are to be transferred to a New Delhi hospital.

However, the two Sri Lankan tourists, W.K.D. Wasantha from Mt. Lavinia and T.H. Podinona from Mathugama, are out of danger and are currently recuperating, a spokesman for the Sri Lankan High Commission in India told Ada Derana.

The eight Sri Lankan tourists were injured last night as their mini bus in which they were travelling collided with a truck on Yamuna Expressway.

The tourists along with their driver were admitted to nearby Kailash Hospital, Indian media reported.

Kailash Hospital doctor Sushil Kumar Sharma said condition of a 63-year-old Sri Lankan woman was critical while rest injured were stable.

The tourists, who had come to New Delhi eight days ago, were on the way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, when the mishap took place, they said.

The driver of the truck fled after the accident and has reportedly been arrested by Indian police.
