Pedestrian Killed in I-80 Hit-and-Run Identified as 22-Year-Old Med Student

A 22-year-old man killed Friday night on Interstate 80 in Centre County was a first-year medical student at the University of Pittsburgh. Anirudh Nangunoori, of Bucks County, was outside his vehicle at about 9:30 p.m. near mile marker 148.8 westbound in Snow Shoe Township when when he was struck by multiple vehicles in what state police say was a hit-and-run, according to a crash report released on Tuesday morning. "Ani's sudden and tragic passing is an unfathomable loss for everyone who knew and loved him," his family wrote in a statement shared on Facebook. "Just beginning his journey as a first-year student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Ani had such a bright, promising future ahead of him and so much compassion to offer the world." Nangunoori, who died hours before his 23rd birthday, was a merit scholar who "decided to study medicine after working as a patient care technician in an emergency room and witnessing his mother’s battle with breast cancer,"
