Two teenagers who sat for the recently concluded GCE O/L examination were killed in a motorcycle accident at Thalangama on Thursday night, police said.

A group of teenagers were riding motorcycles, when the speeding motorcycle ridden by the teenagers had skidded off the road crashing into a construction site of the Akuregoda Army headquarters complex.

They died on admission to the hospital. (M.I. Edirisinghe)

Sitting for the GCE (OL) exam. Do they had a drivers license or a license to kill themselves and others.

SL police currently during a great service to the country. However sometimes they are not efficient enough to tackle these types of issues.

What an unfortunate incident? The nation has lost two youth in their prime age. What exactly is happening to this nation today?

It's a tragedy. My sincere condolences to their parents.

And what's the age to get a riding licence? No sympathy at all. Bad parenting . Glad no one else was injured .

There are many more under aged idiots like these two who race their bikes around the Talangama lake. On a weekend afternoon the Police could easily apprehend these morons. Parents of these youth should be held partly responsible for providing them with Motor Bicycles.

This will be a big loss to these families and my sympathies to them

Bad upbringing ;parents should held responsible

Do not blame the parents. Precious lives have been lost. Pray for their departed souls and may Buddha give strength to their parents and kins.

Police are responsible and should interfere more in protecting innocent public from these kinds of idiotic people.
