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

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. 

If you are a victim of a car accident, make sure to get medical help even if you don’t have major injuries.

  • My experience during the time of negotiations was extremely positive. Josh Sandberg handled my lawsuit with the utmost integrity. He returned all my phone calls in a timely manner and answered all my questions. Josh made things less stressful. I would highly recommend Josh and the entire staff at Cellino Law.

    Arthur

  • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.

    Denise

  • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

  • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.
