LONDON: Two Indian students in their 20s have been killed and two others remain in hospital with serious injuries after the car they were travelling in struck a tree in County Carlow, southern Ireland, according to the Irish police.
Cherekuri Suresh Chowdary and Chithoori Bhargav were pronounced dead at the scene of the fatal road collision early on Friday morning by the local Gardai, or police, and emergency services.
The Indian Embassy in the Irish capital of Dublin issued a condolence message on social media on Sunday. “The Embassy team is in touch with the family and friends of the deceased and also extending all possible support and assistance to two Indian nationals injured in the accident,” it said.
“A black Audi A6 was travelling towards Carlow town when it traversed the road and hit a tree at Graiguenaspiddoge,” said superintendent Anthony Farrell from Carlow garda station. “The car is believed to have travelled from the direction of the Mount Leinster area, through Fenagh and on to Carlow… All of 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.”
The two other passengers of the car, a man and a woman aged in their 20s, were taken to St Luke’s General Hospital in Kilkenny with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. According to ‘The Irish Times’, the four friends had been sharing a house in the local area and had recently finished third-level education at South East Technological University (SETU) in Carlow. A fundraiser for expenses related to funeral costs and related expenses raised more than ₹25,000 in less than 24 hours.
