Three Indian-origin students were killed and two others injured in a car accident in Georgia, USA last week. All five students were studying at Alpharetta High School and the University of Georgia. Police believe that speeding could be one of the reasons for the fatal accident that took place in Alpharetta, Georgia on May 14. They also said that the speeding vehicle overturned after the driver lost control of the vehicle.
In this tragic road accident, Aryan Joshi and Shriya Avasarala died on the spot, while Anvi Sharma died during treatment in the hospital. “The injured students – Rithvak Sompalli and Mohammed Liaqat – are being treated at North Fulton Hospital in Alpharetta,” officials said. Shriya Avasarala was a member of the UGA Shikari dance team, and Anvi Sharma performed with the UGA cast and a cappella group.
Shikari Group posted for Shriya Avasarala, “You were an amazing dancer, friend and justice loving person.” The artists’ group said that Anvi Sharma’s death is a deep shock. Aryan Joshi was about to graduate from high school next week. “He was one of our biggest supporters and his support was one of the biggest reasons for all of our wins,” the Alpharetta High cricket team said in an Instagram post.
Last month, two Indian students from Telangana were killed in a multi-vehicle collision near Lake Pleasant in Arizona. Nivesh Mukka and Gautam Kumar Parsi, both died when the car they were travelling in collided with another car in Peoria.
