Hard to believe not a single survivor, sounded somewhat similar to the Sask. crash in that the stop sign was known to be dangerous over the years and many people complained. Four sister s and their husbands were wiped out from the sound of it, entire family gone, what carnage it must have been.

Obviously not wearing belts or are modified limos even equipped with them, can't say I've ever been in a limo.

Sounds like the limo shouldn't have been on the road. https://globalnews.ca/news/4526875/new-york-limousine-failed-inspection/
 
How do you miss a stop sign at a T intersection?
Driver fucked up big time
 
Apparently semi trucks were banned from the road because a few have done the same thing.
 
The semis were banned because there is a hill before the stop sign and some lost their brakes coming down the hill. Terrible tragedy. Hard to imagine how this happened. Driver really screwed up or maybe no brakes. This occurred in the schoharie valley a beautiful farming community known as the breadbasket for the army during the revolutionary war
 
Limo failed inspection and was not supposed to be on the road. Driver did not have the required CDL license.
 
They rented a bus and it broke down, this was sent as a replacement, one of the girls texted someone saying what a piece of shit it was. Can the owner get involuntary manslaughter for this, 20 counts. I will guess there will be a complete US ban on modified limos now, how can there not be?
 
Heard that the impact when it hit the parked car at the Apple Barrel County Store, was so violent that it pushed the engine block straight through the front seat!

Could be the driver's foot was full on the gas pedal? Could it be suicide by limo? First thing --- check his life insurance policy and/or financial situation.
 
Having done livery work, I can say from experience that stretch limos are notoriously difficult to handle. You can't do a marathon shift and then get behind the wheel of one.

You can't go cheap on conversion, it will cost you money on maintenance. At the time the best vehicle for conversion was the Lincoln Town Car, I don't know what they're using now. Driver error doesn't surprise me, I would like to know how much time he had spent on the road before crashing? Tragic event, passengers are too busy partying to wear seat belts. Was the stretch a gas or propane fuelled car?

A 2001 Ford Excursion stretch....Sheeeeeeeeeeeiiitt no way that should have been on the road!
 
A limo is a vehicle that has been cut in half and a section spliced in the middle. Even the best jobs will not retain the original cars integrity. The owner of the limo company was mobbed up and a FBI informant. Maybe that is how he was able to put a sub standard vehicle on the road.

Many years ago there were football players in a limo that was racing a teammate in his Porsche. Several players were killed in the accident when it disintegrated on impact. The championship they were expected to win that year was lost

Your kidding right? This is a country that won't do s**t about banning automatic weapons after scores of school children get cut down. You think they'll bother with regulating stretch limos just because of a few deaths? C'mon - this is the land of the free and brain dead. Two to three days in the news - then it will all be forgotten. Sad but true.

Take a look at Google Streetview, it is a long and in sections steep downgrade. Further although there are warning signs there is a short line of sight to the stop sign itself.

How could the limo fail inspection to the point of being un-roadworthy without the inspector seizing the licence plates?
