Three Brooklyn families are facing an unimaginable loss after a late-night Belt Parkway wreck claimed the lives of three teenagers traveling together in a Cadillac Escalade.
Abdul Rehman, 16, Konstantin Gerantidi, 17, and Huzayfah Aziz Algahiem, 18, were killed Tuesday night when the 2002 Escalade crashed into a 2024 Honda HR-V near Exit 1 around 65th Street in Bay Ridge, authorities said.
The collision happened shortly before midnight, at approximately 11:35 p.m. Investigators believe the Escalade was traveling at roughly 100 mph before the wreck. The posted speed limit on that stretch of the Belt Parkway is 50 mph.
For Rehman’s family, the loss is especially painful. Relatives said the 16-year-old worked at a Häagen-Dazs shop to help his elderly parents and was preparing to begin 11th grade at Rachel Carson High School in Coney Island.
His sister, Anaya Iqbal, 15, said her brother was the family’s only boy.
