Three teens have been killed in the New York City borough of Brooklyn after their car collided into another vehicle while doing “donuts,” reports say.
The fatal two-car crash happened Saturday night in a parking lot at Floyd Bennett Field – a former naval air station during World War II – police told the New York Post.
Investigators told the newspaper that a 16-year-old male driving a Toyota Camry slammed into the side of a Kia Forte. The Kia’s driver – Emil Badalov, also 16, and two of his passengers, brother and sister Daniel and Margarita Sidgiyayeva, ages 11 and 18, respectively, later were pronounced dead at local hospitals, police added.

“They were really close, they went everywhere together,” Nicole Shmerkin, a schoolmate of the Sidgiyayevas, told the New York Daily News.
Classmates also told the newspaper that Daniel recently finished seventh grade, while Margarita graduated from high school just three weeks ago.
A 16-year-old old girl also riding in the Kia was sent to a hospital in critical condition while the driver of the Toyota and his passengers were not identified, the New York Post reports.
