Srilanka, Feb. 24 -- Traffic was disrupted on the Nuwara Eliya main road in Talawakele after a tipper truck transporting sand from Mahiyangana to Talawakele overturned, spilling its load across the roadway.

The accident occurred on the 24th in the Despod area of Nanu Oya. According to police reports, a sudden mechanical failure caused the driver to lose control, leading the truck to veer off and crash into a hillside before overturning.

The vehicle was carrying three cubes of sand at the time, and the spill has made the road dangerously slippery. Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution when passing through the area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
