  "account": "A speeding car struck a two-wheeler carrying three people in the early hours of Sunday in Kochi, resulting in their deaths, according to police. The collision occurred near Nedumbassery airport around 2 am, when the trio were returning home after purchasing tea from a nearby shop. The victims consisted of Gopika from Palakkad, Devika from Wayanad, and Ijaz, a resident of Karnataka, as confirmed by a police officer.\n\nDespite local residents rushing the injured to the hospital, all three riders succumbed to their injuries. The car involved in the accident sustained significant damage. The driver of the speeding vehicle, identified as Suhail, has been placed under police custody following a medical examination. He has been formally charged with attempted culpable homicide. Authorities stated that a strict response would be initiated regarding this incident.\n\nForensic examination of the vehicle is underway to ascertain if intoxicating substances were present in the car. Preliminary investigations suggest the driver may have been under the influence, but definitive confirmation awaits blood test results. Ernakulam Rural SP K S Sudarsan informed the public that police patrols and additional measures would be escalated in the area surrounding the airport to curb overspeeding incidents. Visual evidence from the accident scene depicted the car approaching at an extremely high velocity and colliding with the two-wheeler, which was situated on the far left side of the expansive road. The two-wheeler was entirely destroyed, with debris scattered across the accident site.",
