More is now coming out: The limo/cab driver's drivers license had previously been suspended six times prior to this collision. He was driving on a probationary livery-hack license which has now been suspended pending the conclusion of the investigation.
The Lincoln was travelling south on the West Side Highway (12th Avenue) when Reshad Fedahi (the limo driver) rear ended a Mercedes which was stopped for a red light at West 30th Street around 6:45 p.m., the limo then slammed into the metal barriers separating the lanes.
