Victim Axel Steenburg had hired the 2001 Ford Excursion limousine for an outing to celebrate the 30th birthday of his wife, Amy, who was King's daughter.

Who is "King?"

Excerpt doesn't explain.

I remember when this happened. Very ugly scene. I think I may have done some (the memory isn’t what it used to be) impact g-force math on this accident and the numbers were very high.

The vehicle is believed to have reached speeds of more than 100 mph (160 kph) when it blew through a stop sign...

As with any traffic stop, never a good idea to blow.

If the brakes fail, don’t you just throw the car into first gear? Even automatic transmission can do that. It will destroy your transmission but at least you live.

This happened 4 1/2 years ago and is just now going to trial? Sheesh

Reminds me when I use to drive a Yellow cab in NYC back in the 1990s. When I first started I didn’t know you were suppose to tip the dispatchers so they would constantly give me taxis that were utter lemons, and one night I was driving through Times Square and gee whiz, the brakes went and I ended up crashing through this police barricade and a garbage can. Absolutely lucky I didn’t kill anyone, I mean we are talking Times Square here! And the cops did a whole report and incredibly the Taxi company was allowed to continue handing out lemons. The corruption was unreal

An Excursion(stretched) that holds 20 is no longer a limo. It’s called a party bus.

Note to self: Skip the limo. Take two cars.

Unbelievable the prosecution actually accepted a plea bargain with no jail time for this man last year…. Fortunately the judge threw it the hell out.

The criminal Justice system is disgusting.

Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has been working hard for years to have the owner of the company investigated and charged. It’s finally happening.

Stefanik is the new Republican Majority Whip and is the highest ranking Republican representing New York in over 20 years. She is the one Harvard fired as an advisor for her “unfounded claims of voter fraud” in the presidential election.
