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, “He 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.
