Three Teens Killed in Limerick Crash: Families Demand Answers After Police Pursuit Limerick, Pennsylvania — A tragic car crash on Tuesday night claimed the lives of three 17-year-old teenagers in Limerick Township, leaving their families and community in mourning and demanding answers from law enforcement. The incident followed a police pursuit, according to the Montgomery County DA's office, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision. Surveillance video obtained by NBC10 shows a dark-colored car speeding west on Ridge Pike, with police vehicles in pursuit. Shortly after, the car was involved in a severe crash. The impact was so significant that the vehicle was severely damaged. "What happened to my son? My son should not have died," said Nasir's mother, Angela, at a vigil held on Friday, expressing the raw grief and anguish felt by many. The Montgomery County DA's office stated that Limerick police responded to a potential theft call at a nearby Target store just before the pursuit began. However, the families are demanding more transparency, citing a lack of clarity from authorities since the incident. Nasir's grandmother added, "If the police were behind them, they had the tag number. All they had to do was let them run." The investigation is ongoing, and the DA’s office anticipates it could take weeks to complete. Amidst the sorrow, the community rallied together to support the grieving families, holding a vigil filled with friends, teachers, and loved ones. The outpouring of support highlights the profound impact of the tragedy and the community's determination to find answers and ensure such an event does not happen again.
