A Stanford sophomore was killed over the weekend in a collision while riding an electronic bicycle on the school's campus.

The collision happened in the wee hours of Saturday, May 31, at 2:57 am, when Stanford student Aradshar Chaddar was riding an e-bike at the intersection of Palm Drive and Arboretum Road. Chaddar was allegedly struck by a Honda Accord, which was towed from the scene, as the Stanford Daily reports.

Chaddar was born in Maryland but grew up in a rural village, Chak Mano, in Punjab, Pakistan, per the Stanford Daily, and he contributed to the campus paper in his freshman year. He was president of the Stanford Democrats, and was also a member of co-ed business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi, and the Pre-Law Society.

As NBC Bay Area reports, Chaddar arrived at Stanford from Pakistan in the fall of 2023.

The university's Vice Provost for Student Affairs Michele Rasmussen put out a statement Monday saying, "The circumstances of this tragic incident are currently under investigation by the California Highway Patrol."

"His family has been notified and we will be doing everything possible to support them in the days and weeks ahead," Rasmussen writes. "We hold Aradshar’s friends, residential community, professors, and loved ones in our thoughts as they process this very sad news."
