Five dead in nightmare Queens crash
New York Post ^ | July 23, 2012 | REUVEN FENTON, DOUG AUER and C.J. SULLIVAN

A speeding SUV flying down a Queens street at more than 85 mph smashed into a concrete stanchion yesterday — killing two children and three women and injuring three other passengers, law-enforcement sources said.

The scene was so horrific, “one of the firemen cried as he looked at the children’s bodies,” said witness Ray Cortez, 52.

None of the victims was identified, but all eight are related and have roots in the Nigerian town of Arondizuogu.

"Immigrants' dinner" with “pleasant, educated people.’’ Interesting. And beware of "speeding SUVs."

I’m just glad the morons didn’t take out any innocents on the street. Unreal.

Nigeria is about half Moslem and half Christian or “traditional” or a mix.

The survivors were the woman who was driving, . . . “It looked like the driver was the only one with a seat belt,’’ said witness Victor Lopez, 66.

The driver at fault always survives these things.

I wonder who bought the Mercedes SUV they were driving?

So thrilled with all these Turd World imports driving like maniacs here in the USA. More wonderful multi-diversity. Some just are better suited for camels and ox-carts.

Yes, it's good that nobody on the street or in another vehicle was hurt, but the 8 passengers were innocent. The driver ran through two red lights and was going 85 miles an hour--so it doesn't sound like anyone else in the SUV distracted her and contributed to the crash.

It says that the 8 who were killed or injured were all related--but doesn't say if the driver was also related to them.

Now, now...it was just a group of folks out having a good time. Probably let the one who was least drunk drive. At least she could probably walk in a straight line.

Of course the kids were too young to drive, and are the real victims here.

I know what Leena Dhaliwal said, but things like this do not happen by "accident". There is always alcohol or drugs involved, or they are involved in a police chase.

Of course, there is always the "stuck accelerator"...

Air Force One on it’s way. Wherever a body is lying Obama will be glad to give a teleprompter speech on how racists killed them!

honestly, it’s real hard to keep down the road rage, watching the way some of these folks from other countries drive... weaving in and out of traffic, as if it’s the Indy 500. 30 to 40 per cent of them drive non-legal cars. Other’s have sons with buzz cuts tatoos all up and down their arms, driving these cars with those mufflers that INCREASE the cars noise, not decrease it...Man oh man, the quality of life here in Los Angeles is bad, real bad.

My children live here in Los Angeles, but when I hit age 70, I just can’t see spending more time in this cess-pool. We’ll probably have to seek out a small town somewhere in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan or Ohio.

They were in possession of a large sum of money and we have identified you as the sole heir.

That's great. Keep on changing the very nature of our country by opening our doors to persons from pre-industruial, savage, Third World societies. Turn them loose on machines they would never have access to in their home countries and watch the carnage. And, oh yes: Holder will see to it that the survivors, legal or no, will all vote for Obama.

Can't say, but it IS ramadan, season of fasting during the day and gorging after sundown. A local "all-you-can-eat-Chinese-buffet" was packed with chubby hijab'd ones & their families on Saturday night. Very unusual for this area.

From the article:

" They were crammed into an SUV that seats seven and were believed to be heading to The Bronx from an immigrants’ dinner at a local banquet hall.
