The truck, Engine 254, collided with a Mercedes at the intersection of Avenue U and East 4th Street at around 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The truck then slammed into the Coquette Kids cloth Last night s car accident on Riverdale Avenue was nothing short of tragic, Mayor Mike Spano said. Four young lives were cut short by the recklessness of one individual. Let this be a lesson to all who drive at excessive speeds - it not only puts your life at risk but also the innocent lives with whom you share the road. My deepest condolences and prayers go to the families of those lost, especially during this holiday season.
A car barreled into another vehicle, splitting one of them in half and killing five people, police said. The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night on Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers.
