Twenty people are dead following a horrific limousine crash in upstate New York on Saturday.
Two vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred just before 2pm at the intersection of State Route 30 and State Route 30A.
Local officials said the limo was speeding down a hill and crashed into bystanders in front of the popular Apple Barrel County Store in Schoharie.
The SUV-style stretch limousine was reportedly carrying a party on the way to a wedding reception when it collided with the other vehicle.
It remains unclear how many victims were inside the vehicles, and how many pedestrians were killed outside the store.
Witnesses said several bodies could be seen on the ground outside the store.
Authorities have not yet released the victims’ names.
Bridey Finnegan, who lived near the crash site, said she heard a ‘loud bang’ when the two vehicles collided in front of Apple Barrel, a store popular with tourists.
‘I heard a loud bang, I came out my front door to see what was going on,’ she told WTEN.
‘I saw a lot of people here at the Apple Barrel out in the parking lot. Then I heard screaming.’
‘Then I saw this large van, a very unusual looking vehicle out here in Schoharie in the bushes and really wrecked, hit a tree.’
Finnegan said she watched as first responders broke windows to try and rescue people.
