A person who speeded on the Katunayaka Expressway against the law on a motorbike met with his fate last Friday. This person who had told his wife that he would be back in 2 hours' time was travelling with an unknown female on the pillion of his bike and had entered the Expressway all the while aware that it was prohibited.
Though the authorities showed their protest the moment he was gaining access to the route he had turned a deaf ear and had speeded his bike. While reaching Kerawalapitiya he was once again signalled to stop and since he paid no attention even then, a team pursued him

She had also said that she is not aware as for what purpose he had travelled along Katunayaka Expressway and as to who the female was on the pillion of his bike at the moment of the accident.
The driver of the car which met with the accident said that he was travelling to Katunayaka Airport and that when he was driving at a speed of around 60 - 70 kmph he had heard a sound of a thud all of a sudden and that simultaneously he had felt as if sand was falling and that later some female had floated over the vehicle and fallen on the front side. To inquire as to what was happening he had instantly stopped the car and had seen a person fallen on a motorbike lying behind his vehicle.
A person in a vehicle travelling behind had been able to video the incident from a mobile phone. The video, from BELOW
