"Mohammad Sk, 19, of 87th Avenue in Jamaica, was arraigned on Sept. 10 on a 12-count indictment charging him with aggravated vehicular homicide manslaughter, driving under the influence, assault, and other related crimes for the crash that killed 17-year-old Mohammad Rafid and injured four other teenagers, all passengers in the car he was driving. Sk allegedly drank alcohol and smoked marijuana before getting behind the wheel. He is accused of driving the vehicle at approximately 110 miles per hour just before the crash."
"According to the charges and investigation, on Oct. 11, 2024, Sk was with five other teenagers and drove them all in a 2014 Nissan to a liquor store where they purchased alcohol. The defendant then drove the group to Cunningham Park in Fresh Meadows, where they drank alcohol and smoked marijuana. The young men left the park, and the defendant allegedly drove the group to Fort Totten Park in Bay Terrace, where they continued to drink and smoke."
On Oct. 11–12, 2024, a 19-year-old drove five other teenagers in a 2014 Nissan, purchased alcohol, and consumed alcohol and marijuana at multiple parks. Around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 12, while southbound on the Cross Island Parkway between Exits 32 and 31, the driver allegedly lost control, swerved across the road, hit a metal guardrail, and the car rolled onto its roof in the center lane. Empty vodka and whiskey bottles were observed and the vehicle’s recorder allegedly showed roughly 110 mph two and a half seconds before the crash with no brake activation. None of the occupants wore seatbelts; four rear passengers were ejected, one 17-year-old passenger died, and four others were injured. A 12-count indictment charges aggravated vehicular homicide, manslaughter, DUI, assault, and related crimes.
