Shocking details have emerged from a technical report prepared by BMW in the case of a Mini Cooper car accident in Kochi, Kerala. According to the report submitted to the police, the car was travelling at a speed of 144 kilometres per hour at the moment of collision with another vehicle. This figure indicates that the vehicle was speeding excessively at the time of the accident.
According to reports, this technical report from BMW also provides detailed information regarding the speed in the moments leading up to the accident. The report states that just five seconds before the accident, the Mini Cooper's speed was as high as 162 kilometres per hour. This means the car's speed was even higher before the collision and had decreased slightly thereafter.
An important detail regarding the application of brakes has also been provided in the report. According to BMW's analysis, the driver pressed the brake pedal approximately one second before the collision. This implies that the driver attempted to apply the brakes at the final moment to prevent the accident. However, despite braking, the car's speed was recorded at 144 kilometres per hour at the time of impact, showing that it was not possible to stop the vehicle immediately at such a high speed.
BMW prepared this technical report based on data retrieved from the Advanced Crash Safety Module (ACSM) installed in the car. The ACSM module is a system in which all technical details and data related to an accident are automatically recorded. Company experts conducted an in-depth analysis of the data from this module and submitted the findings to the police.
The report clarifies the changes in the car's speed during the few seconds before the accident. The car, which was speeding at 162 kmph five seconds prior, was at 144 kmph at the time of collision. The police are now proceeding with the investigation based on this technical evidence.
These primary technical facts have been presented in the currently available report. This data provides a clear picture of the vehicle's speed and the driver's reaction at the time of the accident, which may play a crucial role in the judicial decision of the case. The police will use this report as evidence to determine the exact causes and liability of the accident.
