In worrying news coming out of Sri Lanka on Sunday, Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis has been arrested over a car accident, whereby a 64-year old man has tragically died.

The incident took place in Horethuduwa, Panadura at around 5:30am local time. According to reports, Mendis, driving an SUV, had a collision with a cyclist. Details are yet to emerge of Mendis’ state of mind, as well as how the incident unfolded.

The victim was a local resident who sustained serious injuries and tragically passed away as he was being admitted to hospital. 

Mendis, who is in police custody, will be examined by a doctor. According to ESPNCricinfo, Mendis will appear before the Panadura magistrate – likely in the next 48 hours – while police conduct an investigation to determine what caused the tragic incident.
