Quogue resident Joseph Dicarlo told the newspaper he was sitting in his home with the air conditioning on and the windows closed when he heard the crash.
“From what I heard it sounded like a train was hitting a bus doing like 100 miles per hour,” he said.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene and one person died at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Police identified them as Farhan Zahid, 32, of Bay Shore, who was driving the Prius; 20-year-old Michael Farrell and his brother, 25-year-old James Farrell, of Manhasset, and 25-year-old Ryan Kiess, also of Manhasset. The driver of the Maxima, 22-year-old Justin Mendez of Brookhaven, also died.
