3 teens killed, 4 hospitalized after Belt Parkway accident in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, police say

Three teenagers were killed, and four people are in the hospital after a two-car accident on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, police said.

Officers received a call at 11:35 p.m. Tuesday about a collision at Belt Parkway and 65th Street near Exit 1 in Bay Ridge. 

Police sources said a black Cadillac was speeding eastbound when the driver locked his brakes as he approached a slower car. A Honda behind him, occupied by two women, then rear-ended the Cadillac.

The Cadillac crashed into the guard rail, spun around and flipped over, ejecting three out of the five people inside, police sources said. 

The three ejected were not wearing seatbelts and died. They were identified as Huzayfah Algaheim, 18; Konstantin Gerantidi, 17; and Rehman Abdul, 16, according to police sources. 

The other two passengers in the Cadillac, ages 16 and 18, were stable at the hospital, according to police.

Officers said the 46-year-old driver and 44-year-old passenger in the Honda were stable at the hospital.

Video from the scene shows the severity of the crash, with one of the cars mangled.

One of the survivors in the Cadillac told police the teens had been hanging out together at a gas station, and they were headed home to drop everyone off before the crash happened. 

Police sources said there's no indication that alcohol was a factor on the driver's part, but toxicology will be requested by investigators. 

The road, which was partially shut down after the crash, is now back open.  

There have been no arrests, and law enforcement is continuing to investigate.
