A Car crash on Friday morning in southern Ireland County Carlow town killed two Indian students and injured two students.
The injured students are currently being treated.
The accident took place when an Audi A6 car veered off the road and crashed into a tree in Graiguenaspiddoge, near Carlow town.
The two Indian students have been identified as Cherukuri Suresh Chowdhary and Bhargav Chitturi. On Sunday, the Indian Embassy issued a condolence message on social media.
As quoted by the news agency PTI, Superintendent Anthony Farrell from Carlow Garda station said, “A black Audi A6 was travelling towards Carlow town when it traversed the road and hit a tree at Graiguenaspiddoge.”
Further, he stated, “The car is believed to have travelled from the direction of the Mount Leinster area, through Fenagh and on to Carlow. All those in the car are part of our Indian community living together in Carlow town. Our sincere sympathies are extended to the community at this time.”
Community fundraiser Venkat Vuppala, on a social media post, says, “The untimely passing of Bhargav Chitturi and Suresh Cherukuri deeply saddens us. It is with great sorrow that we announce the tragic car accident on January 31st at Carlow that claimed the lives of these two Indian students from SETU Carlow. In this challenging period, we aim to unite in support of their families to help cover funeral costs and other financial challenges they may encounter.”
