Four bridesmaids were killed and seven
other people were seriously injured when a hen party's limousine was destroyed
by a hit-and-run drunk driver in New York.
The group, who were on a wineries tour,
had just left a vineyard when a red pick up truck ploughed into the side of
their vehicle at 5.30pm on Saturday in New York’s wine region in Long Island.
The girl’s limo had been making a
u-turn when the collision happened.
"The pickup truck was halfway
through the limo," said witness Lynne Lulfs.
"We saw bodies hanging out of the
left side of the car. They looked like young girls. It was just arms, and heads
and hair."
The bride and another member of the hen
party were left in a critical condition, while the limo driver, three other
occupants and the Dodge truck driver were also hurt.
Three of the group died at the scene
and the fourth died after being taken to the hospital.
All of the dead women were aged 24 or
25. (credit:Christopher Bucktin)
