Three members of an Indian-origin family were killed in a devastating car crash on August 14, as per news reports. The victims, Arvind Mani, 45, his wife Pradeepa Arvind, 40, and their 17-year-old daughter Andril Arvind, were on their way to the University of Texas at Dallas, where Andril was about to start her studies in computer science.
Their 14-year-old son, Adiryan, who was not in the vehicle, is the only surviving member of the family. A GoFundMe page established to support him has already raised over $700,000.
The accident, which resulted in the deaths of five people including the driver of the other vehicle involved, occurred when a 2004 Cadillac suffered a rear tyre blowout. This caused the Cadillac to lose control and veer into oncoming traffic, where it collided head-on with a Kia Telluride driven by Mani.
