NEW YORK — The father of the 16-year-old Brooklyn teenager driving an SUV that crashed on New York’s Hutchinson River Parkway, killing him and four young relatives, said family members warned him not to drive without a license.
Malik Smith was asked by CBS whether he was aware his son, also named Malik, was driving without even a learner’s permit.
“Yeah, I was,” Smith said. “I told him, his mother told him, his older brothers told him, stop driving without a license, without a permit. Anything happens, you get pulled over, you get in trouble for these things. Stop doing this.”
