Two students hailing from Telangana, studying in the United States, died in a car crash in the US state of Arizona. The duo were identified as Nivesh Mukka and Goutham Kumar Parsi, both 19 years old, who were killed when a car they were travelling in collided dead-on with another car in Peoria on Saturday night (local time), according to the information received by the families.
