Three teens were killed when a stolen car driven by a 15-year-old girl crashed. Nine teenagers and an 18-month-old baby, were in the car at the time.
The car rolled off a parkway near Merrick in Long Island, New York, on June 8. There weren’t enough seatbelts for the car’s 10 occupants. Three people died when they were ejected from the car during the crash, including 13-year-old David Sanchez, 15-year-old Marlon Carbajal, and 16-year-old Herbert Leo Aviles Maravila, NBC 4 reported.
Two teens died at the scene while the other died at the hospital, according to the New York Post.
A witness driving in the area told police, “the vehicle came up behind me at a high rate of speed and swerved around me,” according to the Post.
The baby, the driver, and five other teenagers inside the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer were hurt but are expected to survive the Meadowbrook State Parkway crash, according to NBC 4.
“So our collision reconstruction unit will investigate the collision and determine causation, speed, things of that nature,” said Major David Candelaria of the New York State Police, via the Post.
