WhatsApp says there was a crush at Queen's - any actual injury report tonight or just rumour
A driver three streets back said "people fell near Queen's, ambulance." Our group is fine. I cannot find a line on Ada Derana or Newswire. Is there an actual injury or stampede report for the 4th Kumbal tonight or is this the same story that appears every Perahera Friday.

I checked Ada Derana, Newsfirst, Newswire and Daily Mirror at ~9:22 PM. No injury, stampede, or ambulance item for tonight's 4th Kumbal. The Ada Derana street piece is still the commence / Pulathisi Raja story. Treat a driver's "people fell" as until a newsroom or the police hotline says otherwise.
Crowds do squeeze at Queen's. That is not the same as a stampede report. If you saw someone down, 1990 Suwa Seriya / 119 / 081 22 33 333, not a forum. If you did not, do not spread the driver's story.
