The two surviving teens, a 16-year-old from Brighton Beach and an 18-year-old from Coney Island, were treated at Maimonides Medical Center.
Police said no charges had been filed in connection with the crash. Algahiem had a valid driver’s license at the time, but authorities said his driving history included six previous summonses.
Among those incidents were allegations of speeding and an unsafe lane change on the Belt Parkway in January. He had also received a summons the previous August for speeding and driving on the shoulder on Staten Island. That summons went unanswered, resulting in a license suspension that was later lifted.
As relatives gathered to mourn, the three teenagers’ futures were suddenly replaced by grief. Friends and family are now left remembering young lives filled with plans, ambition and dreams that ended in a matter of seconds.
