On Thursday, March 14, Lahiru Thirimanne of Sri Lanka was involved in a horrifying car accident that left the cricket player with minor injuries. The incident happened in the Anuradhapura neighborhood of Thirapanne. The car in which Thirimanne was riding suffered significant damage after colliding with a lorry, creating unsettling scenes where the incident occurred.
The former cricket player reportedly only had minor injuries and did not require any serious amputations, which greatly relieved his family and well-wishers. The 34-year-old hasn’t played cricket since 2022 and isn’t very knowledgeable about the sport.
The batter was crucial to Sri Lankan cricket during a period when the team was going through a significant pivot, thus the fans of the player are understandably concerned about such a serious accident.
