We didn't expect this will come on hackernews. But more on this - April is voice first app so you dont have to see/use your phone.

Crash was because of the panic - we were getting late and I reversed the car while taking a turn and didn't see the pillar - I crashed into it - this was before we started recording or started speaking with April.

But that is a good flag - will update the article with more details.

But it says in your article, "We record a demo and dent Akash’s car while recording, just minutes before the deadline." So I think the only thing to do now is to own up to it and please post the demo including the crash so that we can all have a good laugh, and also appreciate the demo that got you into YC?
