Police believe that the army truck, which was coming from Kamburupitiya to Colombo, met with the accident as the driver had fallen asleep.

    What has happened to these people. They are still driving as if they are in a war zone. They don't understand the concept of civilian areas

    Ariya S, Are you saying that falling asleep whilst driving is permitted in war zones? Please grow up, my friend!

    And many civilian drivers do not understand that either!

    The owner of the house should be charged for building it in the wrong place!

    When this happened in northeast killing by our valiant soldiers that was acceptable because the people who got killed are tamils. Now the media wake up from deep sleep
