Our Mission & Purpose
Accident 1st is Sri Lanka's premier 24/7 road safety telemetry and real-time accident reporting organization. Our mission is to radically reduce road fatalities and crash occurrences across Sri Lanka through rapid, factual incident dissemination, verified dashcam/CCTV evidence, and community-driven defensive driving education.
Every single day, between 7 and 9 Sri Lankans lose their lives in preventable motor vehicle collisions. By broadcasting verified telemetry within minutes of an incident, we warn trailing drivers of expressway pile-ups, diesel spills, and landslide closures, preventing fatal secondary collisions.
24/7 Editorial Newsroom & Nationwide Network
Our Colombo-headquartered editorial desk operates uninterrupted around the clock, actively tracking all 25 administrative districts of Sri Lanka and all major expressways:
- E01 Southern Expressway: Kottawa to Hambantota / Mattala.
- E02 Outer Circular Highway: Kottawa to Kerawalapitiya / Kadawatha interchange.
- E03 Colombo-Katunayake Expressway: New Kelani Bridge to BIA Katunayake.
- E04 Central Expressway: Mirigama to Kurunegala and Kadawatha corridor.
- All A-Grade Arterial Highways: A1 Colombo-Kandy, A2 Galle Road, A3 Negombo Road, A4 Highlevel Road, and A9 Kandy-Jaffna highway.
Multi-Language Accessibility for 22 Million Citizens
To ensure life-saving telemetry reaches all communities, Accident 1st is published simultaneously in English, Sinhala (සිංහල), and Tamil (தமிழ்). Whether accessed by inter-city bus commuters, logistics fleet operators, or emergency response squads, language is never a barrier to road safety.
