A three-car accident killed eight people, including four children Sunday on the Taconic State Parkway 30 miles north of New York City.
The crash happened about 1:45 p.m. at Mount Pleasant.
A fifth injured child and two adults were being treated for injuries.
Officials reportedly say the collision occurred when a vehicle traveling the wrong way collided with a second vehicle. That vehicle then spun out of control and hit the third vehicle.
