The accident occurred at around 12 midnight yesterday (26), and the injured person has been admitted to Kalawana Hospital, Ada Derana reporter said.

It was also reported that the deceased were two employees of a rubber factory in the Bulathsinhala area, and they were residents of Bulathsinhala and Rambukkana.
