Two midnight crashes, four deaths in Ernakulam: MVD, police call for more speed cameras, night patrols
Two fatal midnight collisions in Ernakulam killed four people, prompting the Motor Vehicles Department and police to blame high-speed driving in luxury cars exceeding 100 km per hour. Authorities said the incidents reveal shortcomings in traffic enforcement, including inactive patrol units and an underutilized command centre. They urged the installation of additional speed cameras and increased night patrols to improve road safety.
