The crash happened at a motor sport event organized by the Sri Lankan army that was being held for the first time in five years after COVID-19 and the country’s economic crisis.

At least seven people were killed when a race car veered off a track and ploughed into a crowd of spectators in Sri Lanka on Sunday.
The incident occurred at the Fox Hill circuit in Diyatalawa, some 180 kilometers (110 miles) east of the capital Colombo.
“A total of 27 people were taken to hospital and seven of them succumbed to their injuries,” police spokesperson Nihal Thalduwa said.
Among the dead were four race officials and an eight-year-old girl.
