A limo full of people – including two newlywed couples – on their way to a birthday celebration in upstate New York were killed in a horror crash on Saturday afternoon.
The limousine driver and 17 passengers, as well as two bystanders, were killed when the driver failed to stop at an intersection and ploughed into a parked 4WD in a carpark at Apple Barrel Country Store and Cafe in Schoharie.
The crash, which also killed two bystanders near the unmanned four-wheel drive, is the deadliest US transportation accident in almost a decade.
According to an aunt of several victims, the guests were celebrating a 30th birthday. Earlier reports incorrectly said the guests had been to a wedding.

My God, a family lost four daughters and their husbands at once... absolutely unimaginable. Not to mention all the other families. Heartbreaking.
It seems like speed must surely have been a factor here? How else would every single person been killed, plus bystanders..
Horrible situation all around, but there has to be something like that involved for all 18 people to die.
