20 killed in upstate New York limo horror
Twenty people have been killed after a limousine careened out of control in what investigators described Sunday (Oct 7) as the most deadly transportation accident in the United States for nearly a decade.
All 18 occupants of the SUV-style stretch limo died along with two pedestrians on Saturday afternoon in upstate New York, police deputy superintendent Christopher Fiore told a news conference.
He said the 2001 Ford Excursion had failed to stop at an intersection and continued into a parking lot, ultimately crashing into a parked car. Investigators have not yet established if the victims were wearing seatbelts.
