Unlicensed Teen Reports Car Stolen After Staten Island Fatal Crash and Hit-and Run

Unlicensed Teen Reports Car Stolen After Staten Island Fatal Crash and Hit-and Run
Calendar icon February 24, 2022 | Reading Time: 2 min

An unlicensed teenage driver went through a Staten Island stop sign and crashed into a Mercedes-Benz killing the woman in the vehicle. According to the authorities, the teenager later went to the police to report the car involved in the Staten Island fatal crash as stolen.

His ploy started to fade away when the police determined that eighteen-year-old Prince Nesbitt-Hall was driving the Honda Accord that T-boned the other car.

The teenager did not stop at the stop sign at Elson St. and Lamberts Lane and broadsided the Mercedes. Kauser Akhund, the front-seat passenger, was killed and her seventy-year-old husband who was driving was severely injured. 

The front part of thе Honda was destroyed in the Staten Island fatal crash. 

Nesbitt went to the 121st Precinct station house about a half-hour after the crash to report the alleged theft. The teen hoped the police would believe his story that someone else was driving his car. 

He was charged with multiple counts, including manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident, falsely reporting an incident and felony assault. Nesbitt was also charged with criminal possession of the stolen property because the car he drove was stolen back on Feb. 6 in Hackensack, N.J.

The teenager lives in Rahway, N.J., and has three arrests in Staten Island, two for petty larceny and one for grand larceny, said the police.

The victims were only a mile from their home when they were hit by Nesbitt.

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
