inspector Suresh said.

Aashritha and Tharuni who sat in the rear seat, got severely injured. They were immediately shifted to a private hospital in Kondapur where Aashritha was declared brought dead. Taruni and Sai Prakash are undergoing treatment.

The driver allegedly failed to realise that the 100 feet road on which they were travelling was to end and a narrow road of 60 feet was to start. Once the car got on to the 60 feet road, the driver veered the car to the right and ended up hitting a dumped debris and immediately the car turtled.

Officials said that due to the impact of the speed, Aashritha fell out of the car and suffered multiple injuries. "She came to India for a one month holiday. Sadly, she is the lone daughter for her parents," inspector said.
