VIJAYAWADA: Four youths died on the spot after their speeding car rammed into a parked minivan at Ambarpet near Nandigama town in Krishna district on Thursday evening.
Nandigama Town Sub-Inspector Hari Prasad said the deceased were identified as Aravind Seshan (20), Manoj (21), Durga Prasad (25) and Anil (25). All were natives of Nandigama town and pursuing their graduation at a private college.
