New York: Four Indians have died in a vehicle accident in Texas, USA. The victims were traveling together using a carpooling app. The deceased have been identified as Aryan Raghunath, Farooq Sheikh, Lokesh Palacharl, and Darshini Vasudevan. The SUV they were traveling in was completely destroyed by fire. The burnt bodies were identified through DNA testing. Aryan Raghunath and his friend Farooq Sheikh were returning after visiting a relative in Dallas. Lokesh was on his way to visit his wife in Bentonville, while Darshini Vasudevan, a student at the University of Texas, was going to see her uncle. Aryan Raghunath and Farooq Sheikh were from Hyderabad, and Darshini Vasudevan was from Tamil Nadu.
The accident occurred when a truck, traveling at high speed, collided with their car from behind, causing it to catch fire immediately. Since the bodies were completely burned, information from the carpooling app was crucial in identifying the victims involved in the accident.
