'Father Will Handle Everything': Driver's Shocking Words After Fatal Kochi Crash
Eyewitness reveals driver's shocking reaction after fatal Mini Cooper crash in Kochi that killed three students.
A horrific road accident in Nedumbassery, Kochi, has left a community in shock after a speeding Mini Cooper collided with a two-wheeler, killing three students instantly. Eyewitnesses have come forward to reveal a chilling detail: the driver appeared to show a startling lack of remorse when confronted by local residents immediately after the collision.
Eyewitness Recounts the Chaos
Salim, an eyewitness who was standing near the site when the tragedy occurred, described the sheer violence of the impact. According to him, the collision was marked by a massive, deafening noise that drew onlookers to the scene immediately.
"I was standing nearby when the accident happened. There was a loud noise, and we all ran to the spot to check if something had happened. Three people were injured on the road. They were hit by a Mini Cooper," Salim stated.
The scene was one of pure chaos as pedestrians rushed to assist the victims, but the severity of the impact meant that help arrived too late for the three students.
Driver's Dismissive Attitude
As local residents rushed to the scene, they intercepted the Mini Cooper to confront the driver. Rather than showing distress for the lives lost, the driver reportedly attempted to downplay the gravity of the situation.
"People stopped him, and there was some dispute. The driver was saying that his father will handle everything," Salim recounted. By the time the police and emergency services arrived, the victims were already unresponsive.
Investigation Underway
The victims, identified as 21-year-olds Iyas, Devika, and Gopika, died on the spot due to the extreme force of the crash. The driver, identified as Suhail Sajeev, has been detained by the police, and his vehicle has been impounded.
Preliminary reports suggest that Sajeev was driving at a high speed when he rammed into the scooter from behind. Authorities are currently investigating whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. A formal case has been registered, and the investigation into the circumstances of this fatal crash is ongoing.
