Seven people were killed Sunday when their SUV fell more than 50 feet from a highway overpass and landed in a ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo in New York City, according to the Associated Press.
The Honda Pilot appeared to be out of control when it crossed several lanes, went over an iron fence and then landed upside down, AP reported.
All the passengers in the SUV died. They included three girls who were 3, 7 and 10. The other victims were a 45-year-old woman, who was apparently the driver, an 81-year-old man, and two women ages 81 and 39, according to AP.
The SUV was found in woods near the edge of the zoo’s property. Authorities are investigating why the SUV went out of control.
