4 students lost their lives, and one was greviously injured, in a road accident on Monday morning in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The students, identified as Srikanth and Dhiraj from Hyderabad, Janardhan and Sri Harsha from Kanipakam and Vishakapatnam, and Murali, met with an accident early Monday morning. Murali is in a critical condition, and the others have lost their lives.
The victims were pursuing their M. Sc. at a university in Rolla, a city in the state of Missouri.
Overspeeding has been found to be the cause of the accident. Their speeding car hit a boulder, and the driver (the authorities have not yet discerned which victim was driving) lost control over the vehicle, and it toppled over.
The parents of the victims are reportedly devastated by the incident, and have requested the government to ensure that the bodies of their wards are flown into the state.
The government officials, it has been gathered, have contacted the U S Embassy and stated that the bodies of the victims would reach their families within 4-5 days.
