Her father, who is also a teacher at the same school, had stopped the car on the roadside to go a shop, leaving her behind in the backseat of the car.

The car and the bus had veered off the road and hit a tree with the student still inside the car.
The traffic division of the Ratnapura Police is conducting investigations on the incident.
Reportedly, Ada Derana correspondent will be staying at the scene until the school girl arrives back from facing the exam.
