Two Indian Students Killed in Tragic Road Accident in Arizona
Two young Indian students, Nivesh Mukka and Goutham Parsi, both aged 19, tragically lost their lives in a devastating road accident in the picturesque state of Arizona in the United States. The incident occurred on Saturday night when the white Kia Forte they were travelling in collided head-on with a red Ford F150 on the Castle Hot Springs Road.
Details of the Accident
According to the Peoria Police, the two students were pursuing their Bachelors’ degree in Computer Science at the Arizona State University. Hailing from Telangana, India, the duo’s bright futures were cut short in the blink of an eye. The police rushed to the accident spot following the collision, which took place around 6:18 PM on Saturday.
Investigation Underway
The Peoria Police Department’s Traffic Services Unit is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic accident. Preliminary reports indicate that the red Ford F150 had one occupant, while the white Kia Forte had three individuals on board at the time of the collision. Both drivers sustained serious injuries and were immediately taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Support and Assistance
In the wake of this devastating incident, the Arizona State University has mobilized its International Students and Scholars Centre to provide support to the friends, roommates, and student groups of the victims. The university is working closely with counselling services and housing representatives to ensure that those affected receive the necessary assistance during this difficult time.
Increasing Concerns
This tragic incident adds to a growing number of cases involving Indian or Indian-origin students in the United States. In 2024 alone, at least 10 such incidents have come to light, raising concerns about the safety and well-being of international students pursuing their education abroad.
As the investigation into the accident continues, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of Nivesh Mukka and Goutham Parsi during this incredibly challenging time. May their souls rest in peace.
