Police are looking into the possibility that the driver of a car that crashed and killed three university students on board on Wednesday lost control of the vehicle while speeding on a rain-soaked road.
An analysis of the vehicle's Event Data Recorder (EDR) showed the car was traveling at 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) 3.5 seconds before the crash — more than 2.6 times the road's posted speed limit — according to the Changwon Jungbu Police Precinct Sunday.
