2 teens killed, 3 injured in early morning crash on Long Island, NY parkway
A pair of Long Island teens were killed in a grisly crash on the Southern State Parkway early Thursday morning in Islip, police said.
Troopers responding to a 911 call for a vehicle rollover discovered a mangled 2010 Toyota Prius overturned on the shoulder near exit 43A at around 2:00 a.m., according to authorities.
Two youths — 18-year-old driver Oliver Charles, of Deer Park, and 17-year-old passenger Dymond Saunders, of West Babylon — died at the scene, cops said.
Three other passengers in the Prius were rushed by medics to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It’s unclear what led to the crash.
New York State Police said the cause is under investigation.
