Lester Andrews, 60, from Rochester, N.Y., said his two stepsons and a daughter-in-law were among three of the people killed in the crash. They were in the limousine. The brothers, Axel Steenburg, 29, and Rich Steenburg, 34, lived upstate, he said. Axel Steenburg’s wife, Amy, also died in the crash, he said. Axel and Amy, who live in Amsterdam, N.Y., and were married over the summer, had rented the limousine, he said. Some local reports said the limousine rental was related a wedding but Mr. Andrews was unsure.
“They rented the limo with some families and I don’t know exactly what they were doing.” Mr. Andrews said in a phone interview. “There’s just a lot of confusion, so many people died.” His said the closest relatives were still awaiting details. “Their mother is looking for some answers,” he said. “She wants to know what happened to her sons.”
Mr. Andrews said he went to Axel’s house on Saturday night to take care of Axel’s bull mastiff. “When we went to pick up the dog, all the people that they were with had all their cars parked in front of their house,” Mr. Andrews said. Investigators, he said, were trying to match the license plates with the victims in the limousine.
