The operator of a limousine service involved in a crash that killed 20 people in central New York is going on trial.

A judge rejected a plea agreement that would have meant no prison time for the operator of a limousine company involved in a crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York.

The operator of a limousine company has pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and will avoid prison time in a 2018 crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York.

National Transportation Safety Board members unanimously voted to accept a final report that found widespread fault in the 2018 crash in upstate New York. NTSB Chairperson Robert Sumwalt also criticized the local prosecutor and state police for what he said was a lack of cooperation with the agency's crash investigation. The crash killed 17 family members and friends, including four sisters and three of their husbands, along with the driver and two bystanders outside a country store. The vehicle’s brakes failed on a downhill stretch of a state route in Schoharie, 30 miles west of Albany. As part of the report, the NTSB issued limousine safety recommendations to federal and state officials and to the National Limousine Association.
