Limo company operator sentenced for deadly crash that killed 20 in New York.

Nauman Hussain, the former operator of Prestige Limousine, was sentenced to at least five years in prison for manslaughter in a 2018 limo crash that killed 20 people in Schoharie, New York. The limo's brakes failed to slow it on a hill, causing it to crash. The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the limo company's "egregious disregard for safety" and poor oversight by the state Transportation Department. The tragedy led to changes in New York's laws regarding commercial vehicle safety.

NY Limo Crash Operator on Trial for 20 Deaths.

Nauman Hussain, the operator of Prestige Limousine, is going on trial for criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in connection with a limo crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York in 2018. The victims' relatives have been on an emotional rollercoaster ever since, with pandemic-related delays and a rejected plea deal. Prosecutors say Hussain failed to properly maintain the limo and is to blame for the deaths. The National Transportation Safety Board found Prestige showed an “egregious disregard for safety” and took pains to avoid more stringent inspection rules intended to ensure the stretch vehicle had the braking capacity and other requirements for carrying a load heavier than it was initially built for.
