The Park Police officer terminated pursuing the vehicle and observed the suspect vehicle exit the Parkway at Exit 18 heading westbound on US Route 6.

The Park Police Officer continued onto US Route 6 westbound at a reduced speed. Approximately 3 miles up the road on US Route 6, the Park Police Officer observed a 3-car motor vehicle accident.

Investigation revealed that the suspect vehicle, a 2019 Infiniti, had been travelling westbound on US Route 6 when it rear-ended a Toyota Sienna which was also travelling westbound.

The two individuals in the suspect vehicle fled the scene. Two individuals in the Toyota Sienna were deceased at the scene. Another passenger in the Toyota Sienna was transported to Westchester Medical Center for treatment.
