Family Member of 3 Killed in 2015 Taconic Crash Suing County, Yorktown

YORKTOWN, NY — A family member of the three people who were killed as a result of a crash on the Taconic State Parkway in August 2015 is suing Westchester County and the Town of Yorktown.

Devan Mulvaney’s attorneys filed a lawsuit Nov. 14 that claimed the county and town were negligent, careless and reckless for not installing a barrier or guardrail between the north- and southbound roadways, tapinto.net said.

Mulvaney also sued Westchester Medical Center where his father died a month after the crash, claiming the hospital contributed to his death by performing an unnecessary procedure.

On Aug. 15, 2015, a BMW SUV, driven by Nerim Sinanovic, traveling northbound on the Taconic exited the roadway into the center median, encountered an earth embankment and became airborne.

It struck three southbound vehicles.

Leona Sinanovic, age 2, was killed, as were Ledell Mulvaney, 61, and Katherine Mulvaney, 31.

Donald Mulvaney, 63, who was driving the 2001 Toyota that was struck, was critically injured and died one month later.
