32-year-old student from Andhra dies after car crashes in UK, ends up in ditch

A 32-year-old Indian student, Chiranjeevi Panguluri, lost his life in a road accident in Leicestershire, eastern England, while four others were hospitalised with serious injuries.

The accident occurred on Tuesday morning as a grey Mazda 3 Tamura, travelling county-bound from Leicester towards Market Harborough, veered off the road and landed in a ditch. According to Leicestershire Police, Panguluri, who was from Leicester, was a passenger in the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three other passengers, including a woman and two men, along with the driver, were rushed to the hospital. The two male passengers remain hospitalised with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released on bail while investigations continue.

“All those involved in the collision reportedly hail from Andhra Pradesh,” the police added.

In an official statement, Leicestershire Police appealed for witnesses and footage: “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.”
