Hyderabad: Tragedy struck the Telugu community in the United States on Wednesday when a tragic road accident claimed the lives of three young students. The victims, who worked part-time jobs, were en route to their workplaces when their car struck a tree on Interstate 95 in Brevard County, Florida. The driver and front-seat passenger succumbed to their injuries immediately, while the third student, N Rahul from Nizamabad, died while receiving medical treatment at the hospital.
Rahul's family was informed of the accident around 3 am on Wednesday. The other two deceased were identified as Subramanyam Chaturvedula and G Anil, although their origins remain unconfirmed. Rahul, who had completed his master's degree and was pursuing a PhD, was reluctant to return to India due to changing immigration laws. His roommates, Subramanyam and Anil, were also from the Telugu states, Nalgonda and one other location respectively.
A fourth individual was reportedly present in the car during the accident and is currently in police custody. Rahul's father, Hari Babu, pleaded for the state government to help bring his son's body back to India, stating that investigators have not granted access to the scene.
