According to the Westchester County Police Department, among the casualties were four boys and one girl, ranging from 8 to 17 years old.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\" style=\"min-width: 320px; min-height: 50px;  text-align: center;\">  \t<script>  \t\tgoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1'); });  \t<\/script>  <\/div>\n<p>The only survivor of the collision was a 9-year-old boy who had been sitting in the car&#8217;s rear hatch.
