Washington: Five
Indian software professionals, all from Hyderabad, were killed
when their out-of-control Chevrolet Camaro hit a tractor-trailer
and burst into flames in a fiery crash on a highway near Oklahoma
city Friday, police said.
The accident took place as the driver of the car, travelling south
on the Interstate 235, lost control as it tried to merge onto the
ramp toward southbound I-35, the Highway Patrol said. The Camaro
flew off the road and onto the southbound ramp from I-40 to I-35.
It slammed into the back of a semi-truck and went under the
trailer.
The top of the car was sheared off. The car then spun off the road
and burst into flames. All five people inside the Camaro were
ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver of the
semi was not hurt.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol shut down traffic in the area for
several hours while they investigated the fatal crash.
The names of the people killed were not released, but the Telugu
Association of North America (TANA) citing a friend of those
killed identified the five as Jaswanth Reddy Subbayyagari,
Phanindra Gade, Anurag Anthati, Srinivas Ravi and Venkat.
TANA president Prasad Thotakura said the organisation was working
with police and the local community to inform the families of the
deceased and making necessary arrangements to send the bodies to
India.
