  "account": "In a tragic road accident near Kunnamkulam in Thrissur district of Kerala, a family of three met their untimely demise on the night of September 5, 2026. The victims were Munir, his wife Shihna, and their three-year-old son Ameen, all residents of Chavakkad. The accident unfolded around 11.40 p.m., when the car driven by Munir allegedly lost control, collided with their motorcycle, and subsequently struck a nearby electricity pole.\n\nShihna and Ameen were tragically caught between the car and the pole, succumbing to their injuries in the impact. Munir, thrown off the motorcycle, survived the accident. The family had returned home after attending a wedding reception when the unfortunate incident occurred. Local residents pointed fingers at the car driver, alleging intoxication as the cause of the mishap. The driver was subjected to a medical examination as part of the investigation.\n\nMunir, who worked in Saudi Arabia, had returned to Kerala on leave when the accident took place.",
