    A third choice is to pull over, stop the car & nurse the baby. The few extra minutes could save lives & prevent tragedies.

    The two little motherless children went to school with my son. I can’t stop thinking about them.

    please everyone — buckle yourselves & your kids AT ALL TIMES. There’s no way of knowing when an accident may occur!

    It’s a very difficult choice -ignore your baby’s hungry cries or tend to the baby and risk your life. I’ve been there. It’s a terrible Nisayon. May the family know of no more Tzaar.

    PLATTSBURGH — A young mother was killed and her baby seriously injured in an accident on the Northway Sunday night during the heavy April snowstorm.

    State Police in Plattsburgh said 27-year-old Sara Rosen of Maryland was in a rear passenger seat of a 2007 Toyota minivan driven by her husband, Dovid Rosen, when it skidded off the southbound lane of Interstate 87 near exit 34 and hit a tree.

    The accident happened at about 5:15 p.m. in the Town of AuSable.

    Two-month-old Malkah Rosen sustained severe head injuries in the crash, according to police.

    She was brought to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh and then transferred to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.

    Mrs. Rosen had temporarily unbuckled herself and the baby, State Police said.

    The mother was breast-feeding the child, according to emergency officials.

    The accident was blamed on speed unsafe for conditions, police said, but no tickets were issued.

    Members of the AuSable Forks Ambulance squad sent two ambulances, and another one came from Peru Ambulance Service, said Keeseville Emergency Medical Technician Deb Winter, who attended to the infant.

    The side door of the van was open when emergency personnel arrived.

    “We believe the mother was partially ejected,” Winter said.

    Mr. Rosen sustained a cut above one eye but refused treatment.

    Two other children in the van, ages 3 and 6, were brought to CVPH, where they were treated and released, according to hospital spokeswoman Chris Blake, who confirmed that the baby was transferred to Burlington.

    Fletcher Allen did not have any information available about the infant’s condition Monday morning.

    Driving conditions at the time were very poor, Winter said.

    “It was a heavy, wet snow in below-freezing temperatures. Visibility was difficult in the snow.”

    Multiple callers were able to report the accident from cell phones. Service in the northern exits of I-87 is more reliable than in central sections from exit 33 south to about Pottersville.

    Winter said Mr. Rosen may have placed one of the calls.

    “We were called by the dispatcher,” she said.

    An off-duty nurse and her husband were in one of the first cars to come upon the accident and stopped to render assistance, Winter said.

    The Rosen family are members of the Orthodox Jewish community and were traveling south from Montreal.

    The Hasidic ambulance service in Montreal came to recover Mrs. Rosen’s body.

    The accident is the third in about nine years to result in the death of either a mother or a child unbuckled from car-restraint systems to breast-feed, Winter said.

    State Police said a second fatal car accident occurred in Beekmantown Sunday night, but they had not released specifics of that crash by midday Monday, pending notification of family

    בצער רב ובזעזוע עמוק נתקבלה הידיעה הנוראה על פטירתה הטראגית בדמי ימיה של הגב’ שטערנא שרה ע”ה רוזן אשת האברך יבדלחט”א הרב דוד רוזן ראש ישיבה קטנה חב”ד בבולטימור, ובתו של יבדלחט”א הרב שלמה זלמן לבקיבקר מראשי ישיבת חסידי חב”ד ליובאוויטש בצפת. הטרגדיה אירעה בתאונה אמש, בשעה שש בערב, שעה שנסעה יחד עם בעלה וילדיה בדרך חזור ממונטריאול לביתם בבולטימור, כנראה עקב תנאי מזג האויר הקשים השוררים בשעות אלו ברחבי המדינה – שאר בני המשפחה ניצלו בנס. הציבור מתבקש לומר תהילים עבור התינוקת מלכה פריידא בת שטערנא שרה הזקוקה לרחמי שמים מרובים. הלוויתה תיערך מחר (שלישי) בצפת. ברוך דיין האמת.
