Killed were Stephanie ...18; Kathleen ..r, 18; and Sara ...., 17. All three lived in..., according to New York State Police Sgt. Antonio Mercado.
A fourth passenger in the car,...junior Sean Donnelly, 17, of Sparrowbush, was flown to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla and was in critical condition last night, according to police.
Police said none of the students was wearing a seat belt. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
The grim detail of caring for the bodies and reconstructing the fatal accident forced state police to shut down the eastbound lanes for several hours just before the start of evening rush hour. Traffic was backed up for more than 20 miles.
.... High School Principal ..... said last night that the school faculty was being notified and a crisis team was being assembled. Graduation is two weeks away; Abr.... was to be the first called at the ceremony.
She was driving .... white Nissan Stanza west on the interstate just after 3:30 p.m., according to police on the scene.
A car-width scrape of earth and grass outlined by deep tire tracks traced where the car crossed the 20-foot median into the oncoming lane. Nearly 30 feet of evenly spaced skid marks led to where the tractor-trailer eventually came to rest.
The driver, Serguei Morozov, was hauling strawberries from Sacramento, Calif. bound for Connecticut. He was not hurt.
The truck's grill was smashed in, its hood slumped forward and popped open from the crash.
It slammed into the passenger side of the Stanza, squeezing and bending the car to half its size. Fire crews from ... and ... sheared off the roof and doors to pry .... loose.

As firefighters and funeral home employees removed the two teens from the car, a bright pink purse and a blood-stained spiral notebook fell from the seat onto what remained of the car's floor.
Crisis counselors and teachers will be on hand at .... High School today from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for any student or parent who wants to talk about the accident.
