      <title>Pakistani driver among 5 killed in head-on crash near New York City
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30263574/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW YORK: A Pakistani driver, Farhan Zahid, who worked for Uber, and three of his four passengers were killed when a speeding motorist traveling in the opposite direction veered into their lane and hit them head-on over the weekend in Long Island, a suburb of New York City, police said Monday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Farhan Zahid, 32, the driver, died on the spot along with three of his passengers. The fourth passenger, a woman, was taken to a hospital in critical condition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to investigators, the car that hit Zahid’s Uber was speeding, which played a key role in the deadly collision. But, they said that probe is not yet complete.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The speeding wrong-way driver was also killed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Zahid’s distraught wife, 26-year-old Hifsa Ahmad , said she’s at a loss about how to tell the couple’s three young children that their father won’t be coming home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The kids have been asking me since yesterday when their father is coming,” she told &lt;a href="https://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/uber-driver-fatal-quogue-crash-1.50316154"&gt;Newsday&lt;/a&gt; newspaper. “Why is he still at work? Why isn’t he coming?’ They really don’t understand.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Farhan Zahid and three of his four passengers died when a westbound Nissan Maxima crossed the center line on Montauk Highway in the village of Quogue around 11:15 p.m. and slammed into the eastbound Toyota Prius driven by Zahid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An Uber representative said Zahid had been driving for the company for about two years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Our thoughts are with the families of Mr. Zahid and the four others who lost their lives in this heartbreaking crash and we hope the survivor makes a full recovery,” the company said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;
