Techie from Hyderabad died in road accident in US after surviving an earlier accident

A 30-year-old software developer from Hyderabad died in a road accident in the US. In an unexpected turn of events, the engineer was run over by a vehicle after surviving an earlier accident with his wife and friends.

In North Carolina, the late Abbaraju Prudhvi Raj died in an accident on Thursday. The techie’s car had collided with an unattended vehicle on the road. However, with the help of the airbags, all of the car’s occupants were rescued and pushed to the side of the road. Prudhvi Raj, who wanted to call the police, approached the crashed car to get his phone. However, according to a report in IANS, he was hit by a moving vehicle, which led to his death.

Prudhvi Raj had been working in the US for eight years and had married just two years ago.

Prudhvi Raj’s father, Abbaraju Venkataraman, a retired employee of the electricity department, passed away two years ago. After Prudhvi Raj’s death, family and friends are making efforts to bring his mortal remains home.

To support the family, his friends have created a GoFundMe page. SriPriya Dandamraju, who is organizing the fundraiser, noted that Prudhvi Raj is the sole provider for his family.

Prudhvi Raj’s cousin Vishwanath told ANI, “He has been in the US for eight years and got married two years ago. Unfortunately he had an accident yesterday morning. His friends are currently coordinating the transfer of the body here.” We expect to receive the body tomorrow evening.
