Two Indian citizens, who were residents from Telangana, were killed in a car accident in Phoenix, Arizona. The accident took place on April 20 when their car struck another car head-on. While both the students, identified as Mukka Nivesh and Goutham Parsi died in the accident, the driver of their car sustained injuries and has been discharged from the hospital after treatment. Both the students were aged 19. They were students of computer science engineering at Arizona State University.

"On April 20, 2024, at approximately 6:18 PM, Peoria Police and Peoria Fire-Medical responded to an injury collision on Castle Hot Springs Road just north of State Route 74," said the Peoria Police AZ in an official statement on Facebook.

"This multiple-vehicle collision involved two vehicles, a white 2024 Kia Forte and a red 2022 Ford F150, in which they both collided head-on," it added.

According to an initial inquiry, the white Kia Forte was heading north on Castle Hot Springs Road, while the driver of the red F150 was travelling south. The cause behind this incident is still being investigated.

"The red F150 had one occupant at the time of the collision. The occupant was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but has since been released. The white Kia Forte had three occupants inside the vehicle," said the official statement.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital by Peoria Police with critical injuries, but he has since been released.

An investigation into the matter is on. The most recent occurrence comes after several Indian students in the US from various causes. Almost twelve students have lost their lives in the first four months of this year.
