Carleton University student Arif Merani struck on highway | CTV Ottawa NewsCarleton University students are mourning the loss of a young, bright mind.

22-year-old Arif Merani died Monday along Highway 401, after he stepped out of his car to check a flat tire. It happened Thanksgiving Monday, close to midnight along the 401 near Lansdowne, east of Gananoque. Merani, a student of Business Law at Carleton University, was driving with a couple of friends back to Ottawa after spending Thanksgiving with his family in Niagara Falls.

\”They pulled over because they heard something on the vehicle,” says friend Cody Guthrie, β€œHe got out of the vehicle and was struck by an oncoming car in the lane.”

Merani, who was a proud Ismaili Muslim, will be buried this Saturday in Niagara Falls.
