The four were among five people in a van driven by Veeramachani that passed a commercial vehicle in a no-passing zone south of Cantwell. The van crashed into a pickup truck.
Troopers say the fifth person in the van, 58-year-old Venkata Kadiyala, also from India, was in critical condition at an Anchorage hospital.
A 2-year-old boy in the truck was flown to an Anchorage hospital with serious injuries. Also in the truck were 23-year-old Collin Koskey and 21-year-old Felicia Koskey, both of Fort Wainwright. Troopers say they were also injured.
