The luxury car involved in the Nedumbassery road accident was allegedly speeding at over 165 km per hour while ramming the two-wheeler from behind, killing three young riders, according to top sources with the investigation team.

The investigators arrived at the preliminary conclusion after analysing visuals recorded by surveillance cameras installed by the Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) on the stretch of the Airport Road where the accident took place on October 11.

“According to footage captured by around 10 cameras installed starting from 500 km before the accident site, the car was speeding between 165 kmph and 180 kmph. The footage from all cameras are synchronised. The legally permitted speed limit on the stretch is only 60 kmph,” a senior police officer said.
