"Limousine (MS Rebridge)" or "Limousine" is a song from Brand New's 2006 album The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
[edit] Lyrical content
The song was written about the death of 7-year-old Katie Flynn. Katie had been the flower girl at her aunt's wedding and left in a limousine. The limousine was hit by another car and Katie was decapitated. Katie and the limousine driver, Stanley Rabinowitz, were both instantly killed. The driver of the other car, Martin Heidgen, 25, had at least 14 drinks that night and his blood alcohol content, at 0.28%, was more than three times the legal limit in New York (0.08%). He drove more than two miles north on the southbound side of the highway the Flynn family were driving along at the time of the collision.
Heidgen received a sentence of 18 years to life, less than the sentence of 25 years to life sought by the victims' families. Heidgen was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree assault and driving while intoxicated. The jury found him not guilty of reckless endangerment for jeopardizing the people whom he passed going the wrong way before hitting the limousine.
