Two Cleveland State University students, 23-year-old Saurav Prabhakar and 20-year-old Manav Patel, tragically died in a horrific accident on May 10 along the Pennsylvania Turnpike when their car lost control, hit a tree, and then collided with a bridge. A third student sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized. The crash occurred near Reading Interchange and did not affect traffic.
