The Sri Lanka Army has appointed a seven-member special investigation committee to probe Sunday's tragic accident during the Fox Hill Supercross race that left seven people dead.
The committee comprises senior military officers and will be headed by a Major General.
Matters the committee has been tasked with investigating include causes for the accident, who was responsible, whether the security of spectators had been ensured, whether the responsible parties had ensured the safety of the race track and what measures should be taken to prevent such incidents in the future, the Army said in a statement.
The Colombo–Kandy main road at Pahala Kadugannawa has been closed indefinitely after a deadly rockfall in the area that left six people dead and four others injured.
The Cyclonic Storm “Ditwah” moved further north from Trincomalee today evening leaving a trail of destruction including more than 90 deaths, over 100 missing and tens of thousands displaced, officials said.
