Police said five young people aged between 8 and 17 died in a fiery SUV crash on Scarsdale’s Hutchinson River Boulevard early Sunday morning.

According to Westchester County Police, the victims were driving north when their Nissan Rogue veered off the boulevard just north of the Mamaroneck Road exit.

Police believe a 16-year-old was driving the car. According to the preliminary investigation, he did not exceed the speed limit, law enforcement sources said.
