Three students from Punjab, who were pursuing higher studies at a college in Canada, were killed when their car crashed in Ontario.
The accident took place on Oil Heritage Road in Ontario late on Friday night.
While the driver was seriously injured, the three students — Tanvir Singh, Gurvinder and Harpreet Kaur — were killed, family of one of them who died told reporters in Jalandhar.
The three students were said to be around 20 years of age and were from Jalandhar and Gurdaspur districts.
Tanvir Singh’s father Bhupinder Singh told reporters that his son went to Canada for higher studies earlier this year.
Harpreet Kaur and Gurvinder had gone to Canada in April.
