Hyderabad: A 25-year-old Hyderabad student, who recently completed his master’s degree at Florida State University, is in critical condition after being struck by a car while crossing the road in Philadelphia.

According to information, the incident occurred due to a reckless driver, resulting in severe head injuries, including brain contusions and clots. The student is currently receiving treatment at Temple University Hospital, where his recovery is expected to require extensive medical care.

The victim has been identified as Aditya, who hails from Hyderabad, India. He had been living with friends in Delaware while his family remains in India. Aditya had recently cleared an interview with Amazon and was awaiting an offer letter when the tragic incident occurred.

With medical expenses expected to exceed $250,000, Aditya’s friend Shashidhar Dumpa has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his treatment. In the campaign post, Shashidhar Dumpa highlighted the urgency of the situation, noting that Aditya has no medical insurance and his family is unable to cover the overwhelming costs.

“Every dollar donated will go directly towards covering Aditya’s essential hospital expenses and ongoing care,” Shashidhar wrote. “Your support will play a vital role in helping him through this challenging time and easing the financial burden on his family.”

Aditya’s condition remains critical, and his family is awaiting updates from across the globe. To donate or learn more, visit gofundme.com.
