A niglet in the trunk survived somehow, tho.
5 children killed near NYC had been seen 'panhandling' right before crash: report



New details have emerged in the deaths of five Connecticut children who were killed last month in a fiery crash outside New York City.

The children ranging from 8 to 17 years of age were in a Nissan Rogue that veered off the Hutchinson River Parkway in Scarsdale (Westchester County, New York) and caught fire after striking a tree at around 12:20 a.m. March 26.

The children, identified as Zahnyiah and Shawnelll Cross, their half-brothers AJ and Andrew Billips and 16-year-old Malik Smith Jr. (the driver of the vehicle), were seen “interacting in a way that suggested they were panhandling” a few hours before the crash at a New Jersey shopping center, News 12 in Westchester County reports.

A 9-year-old boy who was riding in the trunk of the vehicle was the lone survivor.
In an August 2022 incident in Milford, Connecticut, the children were reportedly seen at a Boston Post Road parking lot asking for food and money, according to a police report obtained by News 12.

The children gave false information to the police and the younger kids appeared nervous.

The children told police they were raising money for a youth basketball team, but authorities couldn’t find records of the team. The Connecticut Department of Children and Families facilitated their return home.
