Smith and four other young relatives were killed when 16-year-old Smith crashed off a Scarsdale parkway in the early hours of Sunday.
Pictures of those that perished — between ages 8 and 17 — emerged in a series of social media posts by their parents as well as a fundraiser seeking help for their collective funerals.
Dad Anthony Billips called it “the most painful post I ever had to write in my life” as he revealed he, his wife, ex-wife and sister had “lost our precious kids in a fatal car accident.”
“Six kids [were] in the car only one survived,” he wrote of the 9-year-old boy who police said had been in the rear cargo area of the Nissan Rogue that flew off the Hutchinson River Parkway and into a tree around 12:30 a.m.
