Why it matters

The deadly crash on a major interstate highway raises concerns about traffic safety and the potential involvement of drugs or alcohol, which police have not ruled out pending toxicology reports.

The details

Police say Timur Khabelov, a 44-year-old man from Brooklyn, New York, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic eastbound at a high rate of speed on Street Road approaching the Interstate 95 interchange. Khabelov allegedly did not stop for a red light at the northbound I-95 ramp intersection and struck a Dodge Journey that was exiting I-95 northbound and making a left turn onto Street Road. The impact caused the Chevrolet Sonic to go airborne, cross the center median, and then strike a 2015 Honda Accord that was stopped in the left westbound lane of Street Road. The Chevrolet Sonic eventually came to a rest on Street Road and caught fire. Khabelov was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people inside the Chevrolet Sonic, Farruh Homidov, 43, and Askar Narziev, 39, were both placed in critical condition. The drivers of the Dodge Journey and Honda Accord were both taken to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.

  • The crash happened around midnight on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
