Authorities say an unlicensed teenage driver somehow got access to a rented SUV before crashing into a tree and killing five children.
The tragic one-vehicle crash on the Hutchinson River Parkway in Scarsdale, New York, in the afternoon of Sunday, March 20, left the families and local community in shock as it took the lives of five young people.
The victims were three boys and two girls, all either siblings or cousins and were identified as Malik Smith, the 16-year-old unlicensed driver; Anthony Billips Jr., 17; Zahnyiah Cross, 12; Shawnell Cross, 11; and Andrew Billips, 8.
