WASHINGTON — State Police said all 20 victims in the fatal limousine crash in Schoharie on Oct. 6 died as a result of “severe traumatic blunt force injuries,” according to autopsy reports.

State Police reported Dr. Michael Sikirica of Albany Medical Center performed all the autopsies from the crash at the intersection of routes 30 and 30A.

State Police said they’re still awaiting the results of toxicology tests, including for the driver, 53-year-old Scott Lisinicchia of Queensbury. Officials have said he wasn’t properly licensed to drive the vehicle, which state police said was “unserviceable” at the time of the crash.

Eighteen of the victims were inside the limousine while two others were killed in the parking lot of a popular tourist destination.

The investigation into the crash is continuing and the limo company’s operator, Nauman Hussain, 28, has been charged with criminally negligent homicide.

Meanwhile, federal safety investigators have been unable to conduct a full examination of the limousine because local prosecutors are probing it as part of their case against the limo company’s operator.
