According to the police          sources the vehicle carrying MP Sooriyaarachchi has crashed into a tree          around 1.15.p.m. when it was slipped off the road due to high speed. The          vehicle was travelling from Anuradhapura to Colombo on the route via          Thambuththegama, said the sources.          Two of the MPs bodyguards have also been killed and          another three who were in the vehicle have suffered serious injuries.          The injured have been admitted to Thambuththegama hospital, the sources          added.          Police said that the road has been slippery due to the          prevailing rainy condition in the area, and the MP's vehicle seemed to          have lost its control when taking a sharp turn at a very high speed.          Sripathi Sooriaarachchi MP was a former minister and a          key figure in the breakaway Sri Lanka Freedom Party (Mahajana) faction.          Also, he was a reputed lawyer and a retired Navy officer.</blockquote>
