Following a car crash earlier today along the Hatton-Nuwara Eliya route in Nanu Oya, a man has been hurt. For medical treatment, the person has been taken urgently to the Nuwara Eliya District Hospital.
Preliminary inquiries indicate that driving too fast was the main factor in the collision. Due to the severe rains in the area, the car, which was heading from Colombo to Nuwara Eliya, slipped on the wet road, striking a telephone pole before toppling over onto the main road.
Although there have been no reports of more fatalities or property damage, the car received substantial damage. The incident is still being looked into by the authorities.
