  "account": "Experts from a luxury car company may soon join the police in Kochi to retrieve crash data from the vehicle involved in a fatal accident at Nedumbassery, according to sources familiar with the investigation. The police have sought permission from the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I in Angamaly to conduct an on-site Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) using specialists from the car manufacturer. The Event Data Recorder (EDR) stored in the vehicle could provide additional scientific evidence to establish the speed of the car at the time of the crash, which allegedly killed three young riders on October 11. The company's representatives had previously accessed preliminary crash data, which was then sent to the company's headquarters in Germany for a more detailed analysis. The CDR process can be performed remotely, but experts are being brought in for on-site examination as part of the overall investigation.",
