Feds fault operator, regulators in limo crash that killed 20
National Transportation Safety Board members unanimously voted to accept a final report that found widespread fault in the 2018 crash in upstate New York. NTSB Chairperson Robert Sumwalt also criticized the local prosecutor and state police for what he said was a lack of cooperation with the agency's crash investigation. The crash killed 17 family members and friends, including four sisters and three of their husbands, along with the driver and two bystanders outside a country store. The vehicleโs brakes failed on a downhill stretch of a state route in Schoharie, 30 miles west of Albany. As part of the report, the NTSB issued limousine safety recommendations to federal and state officials and to the National Limousine Association.
