Question

If a person dies in an accident as a consequence of speeding at 200 km/hour, will this be suicide?

Answer

If a person dies as a result of an accident which he caused because he was driving at an excessive speed of 200 km/h, then while this is not suicide, he will be guilty of a sin if he had driven at this speed to gratify his nafs, to show off, etc.
