On January 24, 2022, Computer Science student Aniketh Vyas and his friends went out to celebrate his birthday. They were riding in a Lyft when the driver fell asleep on the highway and crashed into the guardrail. Miraculously, no one was injured. But as they talked with police on the side of the road, they were struck by a speeding vehicle at 97mph. Vyas suffered critical injuries that resulted in the amputation of his left leg. Recently he received his prosthetic and on May 19, 2023 he walked across the stage to receive his diploma.
