New Delhi, July 8: Four people of Indian origin were killed in a horrific car accident that occurred last weekend in Greene County, Alabama, USA. All four hail from Hyderabad and are said to belong to the same family. The accident occurred on Saturday night while they were returning to their residence in Dallas after visiting relatives in Atlanta.
The four deceased are Venkat Bejugam, his wife Tejaswini Cholleti, and their two children Siddharth and Mrida Bejugam.
The four were traveling in a car near Greene County when a mini truck left the designated lane and hit their car. As a result, the car was crushed and caught fire. All four were burnt to death on the spot.
Due to the severe burns, it is not possible to identify the faces of the deceased. Forensic tests, including DNA tests and dental examinations, are being conducted, and the bodies are likely to be handed over to the relatives after the identities of the four are confirmed.
Venkat Bejugam's family lived in Sutton Fields, Aubrey, Dallas. Team Aid, a social service organization, has rushed to the aid of the relatives of the deceased family and is assisting in the legal proceedings to retrieve the bodies.
