Details of the Incident
At least three Indian-origin students died, and two others were injured in a terrible car crash in Alpharetta, Georgia, according to officials. Alpharetta Police arrived at a single-car collision on Westside Parkway, and an early investigation found that the automobile was carrying five 18-year-old occupants.
The driver lost control of the car, causing it to come to rest upside down in the tree line, according to Alpharetta Police’s statement, which was based on evidence found at the scene of the event. The three Indian-origin people who have passed away are Anvi Sharma, a freshman at the University of Georgia, Sriya Avasarala, and senior Aryan Joshi of Alpharetta High School.
Victims and Their Legacy
Anvi Sharma passed away from her injuries at North Fulton Hospital, where the other three occupants were being treated after Aryan Joshi and Sriya Avasarala were discovered dead at the site. Alpharetta High School senior Mohammed Liyakath and Rithwak Somepalli, a Georgia State University student and the driver of the vehicle, are undergoing treatment.

We send our sincere sympathies to their loved ones and families during this trying time. We hope that everyone who knew them may find solace and courage in their memories.”
