Limo company operator convicted of 20 counts of manslaughter for deadly 2018 crash

  • Nauman Hussain, manager of Prestige Limousine, was found guilty of 20 counts of manslaughter for a deadly 2018 limo crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York.
  • The crash was caused by the limo's brake failure due to poor maintenance and inspections.
  • Hussain faces up to 15 years in prison and will be sentenced on May 31.
  • The victims' families expressed relief that someone was held accountable but frustration with an earlier plea deal that would have spared Hussain jail time.
  • The crash was the deadliest transportation accident in the U.S. in nearly a decade and spurred new safety laws for limos in New York.
