The Scarsdale community is mourning the loss of beloved local couple Toby and Brooke Cohen, who were killed in a tragic crash on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. New York attorneys Toby and Brooke Cohen were reportedly driving with their three children when their car veered off the road and crashed into the woods on the night of Nov. 23.

Investigators said the couple’s car was traveling on Morea Road in Farmington and crossed into Bristol on Stevens Street when they struck a roadway sign and trees. While Toby and Brooke were tragically killed at the scene, their three children, Cooper, Jake and Addison, were rushed to a hospital with critical injuries.

In the wake of the devastating incident, the beloved couple’s friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraising initiative was created on Dec. 2, to render financial assistance to the couple’s three children as they continue to recover in the hospital.
