Investigators probing the fatal Nedumbassery crash have obtained critical data from the vehicle's manufacturer indicating excessive speed at the time of the accident. According to the manufacturer's report, the car was travelling at 162 kmph when it collided, raising fresh questions about the circumstances that led to the tragedy.
Previous analysis of the crash scene had already established that the vehicle covered an extraordinary distance of approximately 500 metres in merely 11 seconds—calculations that align with the manufacturer's speed findings and suggest the car was operating well beyond safe limits at the moment of impact.
The high-speed data provides investigators with a clearer picture of the events leading up to the crash. The findings are expected to form a crucial part of the ongoing investigation into what caused the vehicle to reach such dangerous velocities.
Authorities have not yet disclosed additional details regarding other factors that may have contributed to the accident, including road conditions, vehicle maintenance records, or driver circumstances at the time of the incident.
