ALBANY, N.Y. – The New York limousine crash that killed 20 people remains shrouded in secrecy nearly a year later.
From public safety probes to legal battles over possible fault, the unanswered questions from the Schoharie County crash cast a pall over the lives shattered by the nation’s deadliest crash in more than a decade.
"A year later, nothing has changed," several of the victims' families said in a statement. "No one has been held accountable for this tragedy, and this delayed justice keeps our families in limbo reliving the traumatic loss of our loved ones."
Donna Rivenburg, whose daughter Amanda died in the crash, said she wants answers.
"I just go day by day waiting for a final outcome," she said.
Central to the unanswered questions is why, according to authorities and court records, a limousine with documented safety problems and improper certifications didn’t get removed from roadways.
