“The driver, Malik Smith, did not have a Connecticut nor a New York driver's license or a permit,” Latimer said. Latimer said the driver of the car should not have been behind the wheel. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. The boy was riding in the rear hatchback/cargo area and escaped out the rear. "It was a horrific accident site.”Ī 9-year-old boy, Abraham Billips, the sixth person in the Nissan Rogue, was the only survivor. And that is a tragedy no matter what the details are,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said during a Monday afternoon news conference. “The crash cost the lives of five young people. Police said the accident happened around 12:20 a.m. Smith was driving the vehicle when it veered off the Hutchinson River Parkway early Sunday in Scarsdale, hit a tree and a boulder, then caught fire. The deceased were identified Monday as Malik Smith, 16 Anthony Billips Jr., 17 Zahnyiah Cross, 12 Shawnell Cross, 11 and Andrew Billips, 8, according to the Westchester County government. Five children from Connecticut, ranging in age from 8 to 17, were killed in a fiery crash early Sunday morning on a New York highway, police said.
