Twenty people have died after a limousine crashed on the way to a wedding in New York.
According to the MailOnline, two vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred just before 2pm at the intersection of State Route 30 and State Route 30A.
Local media reported that the vehicle sped down a hill and crashed into bystanders in Schoharie County, New York.

The Times Union reports that at least two vehicles - including an SUV-style stretch limo reported to be en route to a wedding - were involved in the crash on Saturday afternoon.
However it was unclear if the impact killed pedestrians, passengers or both.
Bridey Finegan, who lives just down the road from the scene of the crash, spoke to the Mirror, saying: "I saw a lot of people here at the Apple Barrel out in the parking lot. Then I heard screaming.

"Then I saw this large van, a very unusual looking vehicle out here in Scoharie in the bushes and really wrecked, hit a tree.
"The first responders broke some windows to try to get people out. I believe the jaws of life were here on the side of one of the fire trucks".
Apple Barrel, a country store and cafe, closed after the crash and have since released a statement on Facebook.

"We will be open for business for tomorrow. We hope you will come and share your smiles, love, friendship and hugs with us. We also hope you will share your change. We will be collecting donations for our local volunteer emergency services. They are the heroes of our small community.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone that was affected by the events of today. You will always be part of our family.

"(We will not be discussing the events of today any further. Thank you for understanding.)"
They have reopened today and took to Facebook to say: "Yes, are open today. And could use your hugs. Donations are be accepted for our local emergency services.
We are doing our best to cope and grieve. We are a big family at the Apple Barrel, and part of the bigger family of Schoharie. We cope by being together. And that is why we are open."
