Student killed in car crash in India
CHENNAI: A Malaysian medical student and her two local friends, including a doctor, were killed when the car they were travelling in collided with a bus while they were returning home on Tuesday evening.
Fatimatussolihah Aziz, 22, of Kuala Terengganu, died on the spot in the crash, which occurred at a road under construction in Seeragapadi, Salem, at about 4.30pm.
She was a third-year student at the Vinyaka Mission Dental College in Salem, located about 400km from here.
The car driver, identified only as Dr Sabree, 25, and one of the two passengers, Arathi Srikumar, 21, were also killed on the spot.
The other passenger, Dr Mohseen, from Kerala, was critically injured. Khairudin Abdullah, the Malay-
sian education counsellor based in Chennai, told Bernama yesterday that arrangements were being made to fly the body back to Malaysia.
The accident occurred when the Malaysian and her friends were returning to their rented house, located about 20km from the college, in a Maruti Suzuki Swift car. The car was reduced to a wreck.
