Five kids were killed in a fiery overnight car accident in New York, including the 16-year-old driver of the vehicle.

Authorities in Scarsdale, New York, said the kids were traveling on the Hutchinson River Parkway early Sunday morning when the Nissan Rogue they were driving in crashed into a tree and caught on fire.

Five children between the ages of 8 and 17 died in the crash, while a 9-year-old boy survived and was taken to Westchester Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the 9-year-old was sitting in a hatchback/cargo area at the time of the crash and was able to escape through the rear of the vehicle.

Police were able to determine that a 16-year-old was the likely driver of the vehicle. Of the five victims, four were male and one was female, all from Connecticut.

The crash, which happened around 12:20 a.m. Sunday, was a single vehicle accident, police said.

Police could not say where the vehicle was coming from or where it was going and that the incident remains under investigation.

Law enforcement across the U.S. should "pay attention" to former President Trump's calls for his supporters to protest in the event of his arrest this week, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said Sunday.

Kelly stated that Trump's supporters have a First Amendment right to peacefully protest, but he argued that police should be prepared to ensure that demonstrations don't turn violent. Trump claimed on Saturday that New York authorities may be planning to arrest him this week following an indictment related to his relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

"The [former] president's supporters, they have First Amendment rights, and they should be able to exercise those peacefully," Kelly said during a Sunday appearance on CNN. "I think it's gonna be important for law enforcement to pay attention to, you know, protests and make sure it doesn't rise to the level of violence."

Trump urged his supporters to "protest" and "take our nation back" in messages many have compared to his statements prior to the pro-Trump storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Democrats on Capitol Hill blasted Trump for a Saturday morning social media post that urged his supporters to take action if he is arrested.

"NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!, [sic]" Trump posed to his Truth Social account.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was among to first to attack Trump on Saturday.

"The former president's announcement this morning is reckless: doing so to keep himself in the news & to foment unrest among his supporters," Pelosi tweeted. "He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence. Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable."

Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York echoed Pelosi, arguing Trump was attempting to "fan the flames" of violence.

"We live in a democracy," wrote Jeffries. "Right-wing extremists who fan the flames of political violence with inflammatory rhetoric are not fit to serve. American values over autocracy."
