The Sri Lanka Army has decided to appoint a seven-member committee to investigate the accident that occurred during the Diyathalawa Fox Hill car race.
Army Spokesman Major General Rasika Kumara said that this committee will be appointed under the chairmanship of a Major General.
These investigations are to be carried out using the existing videos and photographs regarding the accident.
The Fox Hill Supercross 2024 was held on 21 April 2024 at the Fox Hill Supercross track.
During the 17th race under the 1500cc Ford Laser Mazda 323 category, two cars collided near the pines corner, just 150 meters from the starting point.
One of the cars that collided in this way skidded off the track and 07 were killed and 21 other people were injured and admitted to the Diyatalawa Base Hospital.
Afterwards, 10 patients were transferred to the Badulla Teaching Hospital for further treatments. Following this incident, the event was suspended by the organisers.
