Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Wickramasinghe. I'm Constable Sarah Mitchell from NSW Police, and I'd like to record your account of last week's accident on Chapel Street.
ස්තුතියි නිලධාරි මහත්මියනි, මම සතුටින්ම ඔබට උදව් කරන්නම්. එදින සිදු වූ දේ මට තවමත් හොඳටම මතකයි.
Can you tell me exactly what time you saw the two cars collide near Chapel Street last Thursday evening, and where you were standing?
ඒක අපේ වේලාවෙන් හවස හතරහමාරට විතර, පසුගිය බ්රහස්පතින්දා සන්ධ්යාවේ. මම චැපල් වීදියේ බස් නැවතුම අසල හිටියේ.
What did the silver sedan look like, and did you notice any damage to it before it drove off toward the intersection?
රිදී පාට කාරයේ ඉදිරිපස දකුණු කෙළවර හානි වී තිබුණා. ඒක වේගයෙන් හරස් මාර්ගය දෙසට පැදවගෙන ගියා.
Did you get a clear look at the driver's face at any point? If not, that's completely fine — just tell me what you remember clearly.
නෑ, රියදුරුගේ මූණ පැහැදිලිව මට පේන්නෙ නැහැ, මොකද වීදුරු කළු පාටින් ටින්ට් කර තිබුණා.
Once you've reviewed and signed the statement, NSW Police will contact you directly if the matter proceeds to court.
හොඳයි, ඉතින් මම ප්රකාශය අත්සන් කළාට පස්සේ ඊළඟට මොකද වෙන්නේ, මට කෝටුවකට යන්න වෙයිද?
That's right — there's no guarantee it will go to court, but your statement helps us identify the vehicle registration. Thank you for your time today.
තේරුණා නිලධාරි මහත්මියනි, අවශ්ය නම් මම නැවතත් පැමිණෙන්නම්. ඔබේ කාලයට ගොඩක් ස්තුතියි.
