The aunt to the four sisters who were killed in the accident, Barbara Douglas said that the sisters were wonderful girls and that they had taken a good decision by taking the limo to bring them to the birthday celebration of their youngest sister considering the number of attendees and that they would not have to drive anywhere, while speaking to the reporters on Sunday. She also added that the sisters were close to each other and would do anything for the other.
The reports from CNN states the reported modified limo carrying the attendees of the birthday party should not have taken the vehicle and that driver since the supposed driver did not possess a valid driver’s license to drive that vehicle and on top of it, the limo had failed an automobile inspection earlier in September. Now the concerned authorities are further into an investigation to find out whether the occurrence of this devastating mishap was due to malfunctioning limousine or the under qualified driver.
