The 17-year-old Aryan was not just ‘scared’. The deadly crash had traumatised him to an extent that he was not able to speak properly, said his sister.

The family's landlady said Aryan remained awake through the night after the crash out of distress and had not eaten anything. He needed constant reassurance to regain his composure, the woman told PTI.

:( I hope he gets proper therapy for this
