A Reminder of the 2018 Limo Crash in Schoharie, NY

While we aren't privy to more details other than what was mentioned above, accidents involving party buses and limos always remind us of the tragic limo accident in the Albany area in 2018.

A limo carrying 17 party guests blew through a stop sign going 100mph, crashing into an SUV and 2 pedestrians. All passengers and the 2 pedestrians, one from Kerhonkson, died due to the crash. The driver Nauman Hussain, according to CNN, didn't have the proper license to operate a limo. Additionally, the vehicle failed an inspection a month prior and shouldn't have been on the road in the first place.

Nauman Hussain was found guilty of 20 counts of manslaughter in May of 2023.
