"The owner of the company, in my opinion, due to legal consequences, had nothing to do with a broken down vehicle on the road," the governor said.



The registered owner is Shahed Hussain, who used to be an FBI informant, according to police sources and court documents.



Hussain became an informant in 2002 after being arrested on fraud charges while working for the state Department of Motor Vehicles, law enforcement officials said. He was discovered helping immigrants cheat on driving tests and cooperated with the FBI to avoid deportation to Pakistan, the sources said.



Hussain testified as part of two terrorism cases, including a 2009 operation that disrupted an alleged plot to bomb a Bronx synagogue. The other case was outside of Albany and involved terrorist financing.



Prestige Limousine said in a statement Monday that it is withdrawing its fleet of cars during the investigation.



"Prestige Limousine extends its deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who tragically lost their lives on Saturday, and we are conducting a detailed internal investigation to determine the cause of the accident and the steps we can take to prevent future accidents."

Recovery crews remove debris from the scene of a fatal accident on Sunday, October 7, 2018, when a limousine crashed into an SUV parked and unoccupied, killing 20 people at an intersection the day before in Schoharie, N.Y. 

The accident, which took place near the town of Schoharie on Saturday, October 6, is the most lethal transport accident in the US. UU Since August 2009, said the head of the National Transportation Safety Board.



Past incident

The safety of limousines has been questioned previously, even recently when a grand jury in Suffolk County, New York, investigated the 2015 collision between a limousine and a truck that killed four women traveling through the wine zone in North Fork. , on Long Island. Four other people were injured in that accident.



The grand jury found that vehicles converted to limousines lack the safety measures usually found in passenger cars, such as side-impact airbags, reinforced rollover protection bars and accessible emergency exits.



When the report was published in December 2016, the then Suffolk County District Attorney, Tom Spota, dramatically raised a hollow metal bar to demonstrate "everything that was between eight women and an oncoming van."



The limousines are not manufactured by the major automotive companies and there is no regulatory agency in the US. UU That it guarantees that these vehicles are safe. The limousines actually start like normal cars, and in the case of the last accident, a Ford Excursion, and then the manufacturers of the second stage cut them to extend the length of the vehicles.



Once these vehicles are extended, no crash tests are performed and there are no mandatory safety controls to ensure that these vehicles are safe.
