A 32-year-old Indian student was killed in a road accident in eastern England’s Leicestershire, while four others were hospitalised with serious injuries, PTI reports, citing Leicestershire police.
The deceased has been identified as Chiranjeevi Panguluri. All those involved in the crash are reportedly from Andhra Pradesh.
A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He was released on bail later.
Panguluri who was a passenger in a grey Mazda 3 Tamura, died on the spot after the car left the road and ended up in a ditch on Tuesday morning.
Three other passengers, including one woman and two men, along with the driver, were taken to the hospital. The two male passengers remain in serious but non-life-threatening condition, police said.
“Officers remain keen to speak to anyone who may have been travelling along the A6 on Tuesday morning and witnessed the collision. They would also like people to check whether they have captured any footage on dash cam equipment,” the Leicestershire Police statement said.
