Telangana Man Dies In US Train Accident
A Telangana man hailing from Karimnagar district died after being hit by a speeding light train in San Jose, California.
Krishna Erravelli (44) was hit by a light train when he was crossing the road near the intersection of North First and Rosemary streets in San Jose in the evening of December 12, said a spokesperson of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. Paramedics rushed Erravelli to a hospital, but he succumbed to injuries. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
“The train that struck the pedestrian was shut down and about 100 passengers were removed and transferred onto another train,” spokesperson Brandi Childress said. A resident of Albany in Ohio, Erravelli had come to San Jose on official work three weeks ago. Krishna’s family in Karimnagar said they were making all efforts to bring his body to their native place for the last rites.
