Question

If someone drives recklessly and dies when he/she is driving really fast, will it be counted as suicide?

Answer

If he intended taking away his life or he had an idea that this may be the consequence of such driving then it will be considered as suicide.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
