Arvind and Pradeepa were on their way to college in North Texas when their trip ended in a tragic accident.
Three members of a family of Indian descent have died in a car accident in Texas, USA. The couple and their daughter were killed on their way to the University of Dallas in northern Texas.
The accident occurred around 5:45 a.m. Wednesday near Lampass County, local media reported.
The victims, residents of Leander, were identified as Arvind Mani (45), his wife Pradeepa Arvind (40) and their 17-year-old daughter Andril Arvind.
Arvind and Pradeepa were on their way to North Texas to take their daughter to college. Andril had just graduated from high school and was going to the University of Dallas to study computer science.
Arvind and Pradeepa’s son Adiryan was not in the car at the time of the accident and is now the only surviving family member. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the grieving boy and has so far raised over $81,000.
According to media reports, a total of five people were killed in the accident, including the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident. The family’s car caught fire when it collided with the other vehicle.
A police officer told local media it was the worst accident he had witnessed in his 26-year career. He described the scale of the accident and said there was no chance of survival.
