A student who was seriously injured in a fatal road accident in Welisara has died

The fatalities from the recent multiple-vehicle collision at Welisara climbed to two, after the 17-year-old student, who was critical in the accident, passed away while receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of the Colombo National Hospital.

 

Reportedly, a luxury vehicle en route from Colombo to Negombo had veered off the road and collided head-on with two motorcycles, a three-wheeler and a car that arrived from the opposite direction.

 

The teen driver and his father were arrested over the fatal collision, and remanded until November 19 after being produced before the court.
