86-Year-Old Driver Kills 2 Boys Walking on NY Road: Police
Two teenage boys were struck and killed by an 86-year-old driver as they walked along a New York road over the weekend, New York State Police said Monday.
Justin Finkel, 14 and Devin Zeininger, 16, both from the Sullivan County community of Thompson, were walking on Glen Wild Road in their hometown around 3:15 p.m. Sunday when authorities say Isaac Kantrowitz, of nearby Woodridge, hit them. Both boys were pronounced dead at the scene.
One of the two was a student at Monticello High School, though it wasn't clear which boy. The district superintendent posted a message on the school's website Sunday saying it would have social workers and psychologists on hand to help "our students deal with this tremendous tragedy." The note said a third student was injured, though State Police didn't immediately release details on the individual.
No charges have been filed at this time, and the investigation is ongoing. State Police say any witnesses are asked to call 845-888-2681.
