Staten Island, New York: Three teenagers were killed when their Ford Mustang car collided with a turning SUV on Staten Island Sunday night, reported WABC.
The three, 16-year-old Fernanda Gil, 15-year-old Jesie Gil and 15-year-old Ashley Rodriguez -- were pronounced dead at the scene. The force of the collision split the Mustang in half, and two of the victims were ejected. The Gils lived at the same address.

The incident happened at about 8:45 pm on Hylan Boulevard at Richard Avenue in
Tottenville. New York City Mayor Eric Adams visited the scene overnight. ‘It's
heartbreaking whenever we lose someone in a crash, but it's especially tragic
when it's young lives lost. Adams said Monday. ‘ as on the scene last night,
and the pain was palpable. My heart goes out to the families.’
The 47-year-old driver of the SUV was taken into custody for driving with a
suspended license and is now facing charges.
DOT Commissioner Yydanis Rodriguez said it appeared the Mustang was speeding
and also that some of the occupants were not wearing seat belts, the report
said.
