The lawyer for the company operating a stretch limousine that didn’t stop at a stop sign and slammed into a parked car in New York on Oct. 6, killing 20, disputed a charge by Gov. Andrew Cuomo that safety violations led to the crash.

Cuomo told reporters on Oct. 8 that the limo, a stretch 2001 Ford Excursion created by cutting apart a regular SUV and lengthening it, failed an inspection in September and wasn’t supposed to be on the road.
