According to Saleem, who was standing nearby when the accident occurred, the collision was so severe that people rushed to the scene after hearing a loud noise. Three people were lying injured on the road after the Mini Cooper hit their two-wheeler.
Recalling the moments immediately after the crash, Saleem said, “When the accident happened, I was standing nearby. There was a loud noise, and we all rushed to the spot to see if something had happened. Three people were injured on the road. They had been hit by a Mini Cooper.”
Saleem said angry local residents stopped the car before the driver could allegedly disregard the seriousness of the incident. Describing the confrontation, he said, “People stopped him, and there was some argument. The person sitting in the driver's seat was saying that his father would handle everything. Then the police and ambulance arrived. But when the ambulance came to help, the injured were already not moving.”
The accident took place in the Nedumbassery area of Kochi, where a Mini Cooper collided with a two-wheeler carrying three students. The impact was so severe that all three reportedly died at the scene.
Following the accident, police reached the spot, took the accused driver, identified as Suhail Sajeev, into custody, and seized the vehicle. According to sources, Sajeev was driving the Mini Cooper at high speed when it struck the scooter from behind.
Police are investigating whether the accused was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. The victims have been identified as 21-year-olds Iyas, Devika and Gopika.
A case has been registered against the accused driver, and further investigation into the circumstances of the accident is underway. The deaths of the three students and the eyewitness account of the confrontation have brought the events immediately following the fatal collision into focus as investigators examine the case.
