I wonder if this means Scott was driving one of the vehicles the DOT took out of service since the first one broke down. I also wonder if Shahed Hussain will be going to prison.

I think it's way too early to be placing blame. Let the investigators do their job.

Interesting, that says they only have three cars and two drivers. At your link.

They pulled their website down fast--even the cache, but you can still see photos of a white Excursion in Google images.

Unless I'm googling wrong, the address given, 776 SARATOGA RD GANSEVOORT, NY, is a hotel.

Looks like it's a hotel with a residence on property. 776 SARATOGA RD GANSEVOORT, NY. And, it's for sale.

Great find. Maybe the limo company owner owns this property?

Googled the phone number on the DOT report and their FB page comes up in google, but FB page is down. Yelp page is still in google

I think the DOT report is three business names:

PRESTIGE LIMOUSINE CHAUFFEUR SERVICE
SARATOGA LUXURY LIMOUSINE
HASY LIMOUSINE

Hazy Limousine is also listed as a DBA on the DOT page.

Terrible reviews...

I believe it did swerve, but I can't post a link so consider it a rumor for the time being.

By then he would have lost control of the limo. If he tried to over correct that would lead to more out of control swerving.

If he had maintained the vehicle he wouldn't have ever drove off into a deep ditch with a many feet dropoff. It was that long drop of forward motion and then the sudden total deceleration upon impact that caused the massive deadly injuries.

I think he lost control early on when he realized he had sped through the stop sign. The worst thing that causes loss of control is stomping on the brakes.

Once the vehicle began to swerve there was no way to get it under control. People tend to over correct which only worsens the situation.

I think the g-force alone traveling at 50 - 60 mph and coming to a sudden stop (without seatbelts on) could have killed them all upon impact.

Agree with this. Someone who saw the vehicle said it looked like it was traveling at 60 mph, but for all we know it could have been 90-120. I feel like the vehicle accelerated due to malfunction and the brakes failed. Seems this has been a combo problem with some vehicle in the past.

Does anyone know whether this type of limo has seats that go across the vehicle or do they have seats only along the walls. I think the wall type seat configuration would have contributed to the deaths, since impact would have thrown everyone out of their seat forward and toward the front floor of the vehicle. Just so horrible!!!

True. Another possibility would be a medical emergency (re the driver). He was reported to be a 53 year old male.

Medical emergency of the driver is possible, but the area where the vehicle left the road shows scoring along the blacktop which would indicate he was trying to stop the vehicle. I’m going with unintended acceleration and failed braking system, a known Ford vehicle problem.
