A 25-year-old woman from Nalgonda district, Telangana, was reportedly killed in a road accident in the United States. The deceased, 25-year-old G. Navya, was a native of Cheruvugattu village in Narketpally mandal of Nalgonda.

She had travelled to the US for higher studies, completed her Master’s degree and was in the process of settling there when the accident occurred.

A car carrying her and other students pursuing their Master’s degrees met with a severe accident while travelling after graduation celebrations. While Navya allegedly succumbed on the spot, two are said to be in critical condition, and three others sustained injuries.

Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy spoke to the family members and conveyed his condolences. He said Navya had come from an economically modest background and had worked hard to pursue higher education abroad.

The minister said efforts were under way to bring her mortal remains back to her native village at the earliest.

Officials said documentation and other formalities were being coordinated with support from members of the Indian diaspora and Telugu associations in the United States for the early return of the body.
