NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say one person was killed and four others were injured in an accident involving a stolen vehicle on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn.
Police said Thursday they came across the accident after losing sight of the stolen vehicle, a 1997 Nissan Infiniti, which they had been following.
