Community members are deeply shocked and saddened by the death of the Pakistani student in Perth.
Hailing from Pakistan, Rao Ajwad was returning from work around 2 am, when his car hit a signboard and light pole at Reed highway.
He was taken to the hospital but later died.
Pakistan’s High Commission is currently working with Muslim Burial Help in Perth to transport the body of the student back to Pakistan.
Talking to SBS Urdu, the student's former room-mate Jahangeer said that Rao was a very cheerful person.
" When he came to Australia, I was the one who picked him up from the airport. I always had a great time with him.
"He used to laugh all the time and was happy even in tough times."
"Rao never had any issue with anyone. He always dreamed of a better, happier future."

Dr Zarin Seema Siddiqui, head of 'Pakistanis in Australia' in Perth said that whole community is shocked by the terrible incident.
"We came to know about this accident in the early hours of Monday. The student belonged to a young age group of students coming [from Pakistan].
"They live on their own and are worst affected.
"These students are usually coming without any financial backing.
Secondly, the main reasons for such road accidents are fatigue, not wearing seat-belt or speeding.
The general secretary of Pakistan Association of Western Australia (PAWA), Manzoor Ahmed said that everyone is saddened by the sudden demise of the student.
“The whole community is sorrowful. He was from Pakistan and used to live with friends in shared accommodation."
