QUOGUE, N.Y. (AP) — Police on Long Island say a driver who caused a crash that killed himself and four others in July was driving in excess of 100 mph. Justin Mendez of Shirley was driving a red Nissan Maxima that collided head-on with a Toyota Prius driven by Uber driver Farhan Zahid of Bay Shore. Zahid and three of his passengers died. Newsday reported Saturday that police in Quogue say a State Police analysis of the Nissan’s event-data recorder showed it was driving 106 mph just seconds before the crash, and 86 mph at the time of impact. The speed limit on the road is 40 mph.
