There were heartbreaking scenes this weekend following America’s deadliest limo accident.
Hundreds lined the streets to pay respects before a joint funeral service for for sisters Amy Steenburg, 29, Abby Jackson, 34, Mary Dyson, 33, and Allison King, 32.
“The girls are being buried together, although I don’t think I can say buried because all my sisters are being cremated,” their brother Tom King revealed.
The family were on their way to celebrate Amy’s 30th birthday when the limo spun out of control across an interstate in Schohaire, Upstate New York, and crashed into a parked car before tumbling into a ravine.
A total of 20 people were killed in the crash in America’s deadliest transportation accident since a plane accident killed 50 in 2009.
Family and friends gathered in St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church in Amsterdam, NY, while hundreds of mourners lined the streets.
There were sad scenes as family and friends tried to comfort each other following the tragic accident.
The sisters’ devastated parents, Tom King and Linda King, were in both attendance.
Patti Drygula, who is friends with Adam Jackson‘s mother, Beth, said the families were struggling to come to terms with the loss.

The sisters’ aunt Barbara Douglas said the family were devastated by their loss.
