Despite the tragic accident that took place during the 2024 Foxhill Supercross racing event on April 21, organizers had gone ahead with an after party event scheduled for that very night, sparking widespread public criticism.
The accident claimed the lives of 07 while injuring over 20 others. The event was suspended soon after the incident.
Meanwhile, legal experts say that although organizers have been attempting to shift the entire blame on the drivers, legal redress cannot be sought against drivers at such a racing event.
It is also said that the organizers are to be blamed for the incident.
The 28th edition of the ‘Fox Hill SuperCross,’ was organized by the Sri Lanka Military Academy Diyatalawa with the support of Sri Lanka Automobile Sports (SLAS).
Meanwhile, a seven member committee has been appointed by the Sri Lanka Army to investigate the tragic accident and findings are to be submitted to the Army Commander.
