WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- An 18-year-old motorist is in critical condition following an overnight accident involving two vehicles on the northbound Saw Mill River Parkway near McLean Avenue in Yonkers, according to Westchester County Police.

The crash occurred around 2:50 a.m. Monday when a vehicle that had broken down and was stopped in the roadway was rear-ended by an Acura TSX, said Kieran O'Leary, public information officer for Westchester County Police.

The occupants of the Acura got into a third vehicle, abandoning the Acura and fleeing the scene, O'Leary said.
