Three Teens Killed in Belt Parkway Crash | New York City News

Three teenagers, including 18-year-old driver Huzayfah Makharesh, lost their lives in a devastating crash on the Belt Parkway Tuesday night. Makharesh, focused on college apps for Brooklyn College, was driving four friends home when his SUV lost control after a sudden stop, rear-ended by a Honda HR-V, flipped over, and crashed into the guardrail — none of the victims were wearing seatbelts. Two others, 17-year-old Konstantin Gerantidi and 16-year-old Abdul Rehman, also died. Four others survived with stable injuries. Police are investigating speed, though Makharesh had a valid license. The community is heartbroken, with a fundraiser already raising over $24K for funeral costs — honoring bright, respectful young men from Brighton Beach.
