NEW YORK — Five men were killed in a violent two-car crash in Yonkers that tore one of the vehicles in half, authorities said.
The crash occurred around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when a driver speeding south on Riverdale Avenue slammed into a car with four men inside near Culver Street, a Yonkers police spokesman said.
“I see a guy running and saying, ‘Oh my God, oh my God!’” resident Maria Delgado told ABC 7 New York. “I get dressed up and come out and the car is split in half with dead bodies on one side and on this side ... and the white car opposite from the way it was coming.”
The four victims in the mangled car died at the scene, authorities said. The driver of the speeding car was taken to Jacobi Medical Center where he died, NBC New York reported.
Yonkers police cordoned off the scene for most of the night as they investigated the crash.
