Limo in deadly New York crash failed inspection: Governor

The limousine involved in an upstate New York crash that killed 20 people over the weekend failed inspection last month, and its driver did not have the proper license to operate the vehicle, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday. Cuomo identified the company that owned the 2001 Ford Excursion limousine as Prestige Limousine, a small company based in Gansevoort, New York, according to federal Department of Transportation records. Cuomo told reporters at New York City's Columbus Day Parade on Monday that Prestige Limousine was being sent a cease-and-desist order to halt operations until authorities could investigate.
