The accident occurred near the interchange with the Cross Country Parkway.
When the police and EMT arrived they found 17 year old Ali Alghaithi, a Manhattan resident, dead outside the vehicle. 17 year old Abdlwahab (Abdul) Abushaar was still alive but he later died from his injuries. Two other teens, a 15 year old and an 18 year old were seriously injured and are still hospitalized.
Two of the teens were working together at a cellphone store in Manhattan.
