Road swallows 10 vehicles

The main road between Hettipola and Mahiyangana has been closed to traffic after some 10 vehicles has sunk three feet into the ground.

According to residents in the area, a part of the road stretching to quarter kilometers has caved in along with the vehicles.

They blamed the situation on heavy vehicles that use the road on a daily basis.

"Some 800 lorries loaded with sand use the road every day and the weight would have led to the damage", one resident said.

The vehicles that are currently stuck to the ground are lorries, buses and tractors. (LB)
