SCARSDALE, N.Y.—Five children from Connecticut, ranging in age from 8 to 17, were killed in a fiery crash on a New York highway, police said.
Police believe the vehicle was being driven by a 16-year-old boy when it veered off the Hutchinson River Parkway early Sunday in Scarsdale, hit a tree and caught fire. A 9-year-old boy, the sixth person in the Nissan Rogue, was the only survivor, according to a statement provided by Kieran O’Leary, spokesperson for the Westchester County Police Department.
