Almost six months after the limousine crash in Schoharie, New York that killed 20 people, a grand jury handed up criminal indictments in the case Friday.
The operator of the limousine company, Nauman Hussain faces 20 counts of criminally negligent homicide and 20 counts of manslaughter in the second degree.
Hussain’s attorney, Lee Kindlon, has vowed to fight the charges.
The limousine owned by Prestige Limousine went the intersection of State Routes 30 and 30a on the afternoon of Saturday, October 6th and crashed near the Apple Barrel Country Store.
The driver, 17 passengers and two bystanders in the store’s parking lot were killed in the deadliest transportation related accident in the U.S. in ten years.
Prestige Limousine’s owner, Shahed Hussain, a former FBI informant and Pakistani native, is believed to be in hiding overseas.
