Five Connecticut juveniles died in a fiery crash early Sunday in New York's Hudson Valley, authorities said.
Shortly after midnight, the 16-year-old driver of a Nissan Rogue lost control of the vehicle as he veered off the Hutchinson River Parkway in Scarsdale and rammed into a tree at around 12:20 a.m.
The impact caused the car to burst into flames, police in Westchester County said.
