​🚨 A serious car accident occurred today (2026/10/07) at around 11:00 am near the Kaduwela entrance of Colombo Outer Circular Expressway (E02 - Outer Circular Expressway) when a speeding white Land Rover Defender collided with a small box lorry (Nissan Cabstar / Light Freezer-Box Lorry). Due to the force of the collision, the lorry lost control and hit the guard rail on the side of the highway and rolled across the road. In the accident, the front part of the defender including the front left light, grill, bonnet cover and radiator was severely damaged, while the windshield of the overturned lorry was shattered and the front cabin and box part were also damaged. Highway maintenance and fire protection units rushed to the spot and blocked one lane of the road to clear the debris and restore traffic flow. ​"Photographs of this accident are published to help create a society free from road accidents through safe driving." ​📷 Photo credit: Accident 1st Community Network (special thanks to brother who provided)

When heavy vehicles or small lorries travel in the left lane at a relatively low speed, the high-speed jeeps coming from behind do not keep the proper distance, which directly leads to such rear-end collisions. ​Kinetic Punch & Rollover Hazard of Light Trucks: Since the center of gravity of small box trucks is relatively high, the moment a vehicle with a thick steel chassis (ladder-frame chassis) such as a heavy defender is hit from behind, the lorry loses its balance and easily rolls over on the road. ​Emergency Lane Etiquette & Expressway Hotline 1969: Immediately after an accident on a highway, get out of your vehicle and do not stay in the lanes unprotected, go out of the guard rail and immediately call the 1969 Expressway Operations Room or if there are injured people, call the 1990 Emergency Service and confirm safety.
