A group of Kiwis badly hurt in a Sri Lankan road crash have scrapped their wedding trip and are heading back to New Zealand for "proper" medical treatment.
A family of six New Zealanders were travelling through Sri Lanka on Monday when their vehicle hit another on the Colombo-Kandy Main Rd at Kalalpitiya, Nittambuwa.
They were passing through Sri Lanka to India, where they planned to attend a wedding.
However, they have had to scrap their plans due to the extent of their injuries, with another family member back in New Zealand saying the group are lucky to have escaped life-threatening damage.
According to the partner of one of the travellers, every member of the group is injured - including suspected broken bones and wounds requiring stitches.
