Police said that four vehicles were damaged due to stoning in the Kahathuduwa area along the Southern Expressway Sunday evening.

The incidents had taken place between 4.00pm and 5.00pm, police media spokesman Ajith Rohana said. The incidents took place on the same day evening after the police issued a warning to people not to throw stones at vehicles travelling in Sri Lanka’s first highway.

A total of 57 accidents have been reported causing injuries to 18 persons so far since the first expressway opened on November 27, last year. (Supun Dias)
