Dashcam! The accident killed Michael Farrell, James Farrell, Ryan Kiess, Farhan Zahid and Justin B. Mendez

Police and a local report say five people - including two brothers - were killed in a tragic weekend collision on Long Island. 

The accident at 11:15 p.m. Saturday occurred when a Nissan Maxima traveling west on Montauk Highway near Quogue Street in the village of Quogue struck an eastbound Toyota Prius head-on, Newsday reported. 

The driver of the Prius, Farhan Zahid, 32, of Bay Shore, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.  

Three passengers, Michael O. Farrell, 20, and James P. Farrell, 25, both of Manhasset, and Ryan J. Kiess, 25, also of Manhasset, also died at the scene from their injuries, authorities said.

Brianna M. Maglio, 22, of Garden City, was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition.

Investigators believe the Maxima's excessive speed may have played a role in the crash, although an investigation is underway.

Kiess and James Farrell played lacrosse together and were classmates from elementary through high school, Ryan's parents Kurt and Nina Kiess told Newsday. 

They got an Uber around 10:30 p.m. that night and were going to dance somewhere, the parents said. 

Kriess, his girlfriend and two friends who were brothers had taken an Uber to go dancing, his parents said

they believe Mendez was speeding at the time of the crash.

Kiess and the elder Farrell had been classmates during elementary and high school and had played lacrosse together.

Kiess' parents Kurt and Nina Kiess told Newsday : "Gentle heart, gentle giant," he said, noting that his son, the middle of three, was 6 feet tall. "He died with two of his friends. ... He loved Brianna. He loved his family, friends and community.''

The Kiess family said they took an Uber around 10:30 p.m. to go out and dance.

"These were great kids, three-sport athletes who played soccer, basketball and lacrosse ... This is so senseless, so heartbreaking," he told the outlet. 

Cherry noted that the group had played it safe by calling Uber that night, but still perished, calling the crash "senseless."

"They were doing the right thing and being smart and getting a ride to meet friends, and then this happened," he said. 'You're so happy your kids are doing the right thing and then you wonder why and how something like this happens?'

Ryan Kiess' father had stage IV colon cancer at the time

Ken Kiess was living a relatively normal life, building his career and enjoying time with his wife. But on Dec. 27, 2014, Kiess went to the emergency room with pain in his side and learned he had stage IV (metastatic) colon cancer. 

He was just 50 years old. 

Kiess fought colon cancer with courage and humor, but within two years, the nation's second-deadliest cancer had also taken Kiess' life. It is estimated that more than 9,000 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in New York in 2019, and up to 2,890 will die. 

Determined to help the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (Alliance) end this deadly but preventable disease, the Kiess family established the Ken Kiess Memorial Golf Tournament in 2017. This year's event, held Aug. 5 at North Hempstead Country Club, was the most successful to date. 

In memory of Kiess, 94 golfers raised more than $50,000 in one afternoon. The money will support the Alliance's lifesaving efforts to screen, care for and cure colorectal cancer.  

At the end of the event, Ken Kiess' brother, Kurt Kiess, reflected on the images brought into the country club's dining room. In one, Ken is holding a large beer at an Oktoberfest celebration. The picture gives Kurt pause. 

"If he was around, he would have been here having a beer and sauerbraten - his favorite food," Kurt Kiess said. "Honoring family and Ken - that's what it's all about. We're grateful for every single person who supports this tournament."
