N Rahul, one of the three persons killed in the Florida accident
The three were reportedly on their way to their workplaces, where they worked part-time jobs, when the accident occurred on Interstate 95 in Brevard County.
There was a fourth person in the car when the accident occurred, and he is currently in police custody, according to sources. HYDERABAD: Three students from the Telugu states, including one from Nizamabad, were killed in a road accident in Florida after their car rammed into a tree. The details could not be independently verified.
Rahul’s family was informed about the accident at around 3 am on Wednesday.
Rahul had completed his master’s degree but stayed back in South Florida as he wanted to pursue a PhD, according to the family. The driver and the front-seat passenger died on the spot, while the third student, N Rahul of Navipet in Nizamabad district, who was seated in the rear, died while undergoing treatment at hospital. “He used to call us every other day. Even on the day of his accident, he was on the phone with his mother for a while and ended the call after his friends arrived to pick him up for work. That was his last call,” Rahul’s father added.
A Telugu association is helping us in the US, but we also hope the state govt steps in and ensures that my son’s body is brought back,” said Hari Babu, Rahul’s father. “All we want now is my son’s mortal remains to reach us at the earliest. They are not letting anyone go near him as the investigation is still ongoing.
