oi vei!
Try to be a little sensitive in your reporting. No need to use the term DOA – DEAD ON ARRIVAL. How about “one patient is reported to have died at the scene”
Baruch Dayan Hemes!!! Oy vey, it is the three weeks.
I was in the country last week and was shocked at the ignorance of most street walkers. The country roads were barely designed for vehicle travel, and they walk 3-5 people side by side, stretching to the middle of the road, in heated discussions, and dont even dream of moving to the side when a car approaches, with that arrogant, city style look of “you should move out of MY way”!!!
Tragedy was just a matter of time. (not stating this was the case here, but this would be a likely scenario, and cal easily happen anywhere else. The worst I found were the woman brisk walking.)
Nebach.
May the other victim have a refuah shelaimah.
Boruch Dayan emess…
and in middle of the three weeks – may the bochurs family be comforted by the mourners of zion…

The car made a tumblesauce.

Oy oy!!! What more can we say!
I see in the photo the car was a (older model) Ford explorer, known with a very high rate of rollover accidents.
Hashem is taking his yearly korbonos tzibur.

Perhaps there should be a rule. Teenagers can drive only if there is a parent in the car sitting in the front seat. I just don’t know. Oy vay.
Stop with the blame game. This is a terrible tragedy, for alle Yidden, whether we know who he is or not.
Please. Names names names.
The Curious Georges need to know. Now!
Sick.
Just be careful when you drive. Stop jumping on someone elses blood.
boruch dayan emes. the roads are so dangerous up in the mountains. we all have to be extra careful in our driving. we shouldnt hear from any more tzoros.
nebach my heart goes out for the families
id like to to thank all the great comments of oy oy ,oyve oyve ,baruch dayan emes,and hashem yerachams, very inspiring talk less and do tushuva will be more beneficial trust me
The 2nd patient greenfeld is walking and talking but sustained head trauma
Boruch Dayan H”Emes – My heart goes out to the families affected by this terrible tragedy.
Many years ago after a significant number of accidents there were Takanos instituted that no Bochurim under the age of 25 should drive in the mountains. It seems as if they are not being upheld anymore. Let us reinstitute these Takanos and hopefully this will avert further anguish to others.
Ekstein from East 8 flatbush DOA instantly
The ONLY thing people should be discussing right now, is how to spread the word to the kids “who know better” and to enforce the rules of underage upstate driving… My crazy cousin along with every other normal tennager- can’t wait to get behind the wheel… When you tell them the dangers, they just shrug you off and act like its no big deal. Sure kids will always “find a way” but we must crack down on this! One life is too precious. Hashem should comfort the poor families and klal yisroel with the final geula shelaima amen.
both going to silverlake
Woodridge fire gave some Hatzolah medics a real hard time reaching the scene of the accident
All these accidents in the summer – I think it is a sign from Hashem – that we should not be Hafker in the summer.
1) If you go out never drive more of the speeding limit.
2) Say tafilas haderch.
3) Put your hand on the mezuzah before you go out – if you forgot to put your hand – you must go back. [This segulah is written in the Tur]
Well, it dose not cost you a cent, why not try it – and your children will have a healthy father after the summer.
This is such a terrible story. Let’s b mispalall for the bucher and for all yiden. And we should hear only gita bseiras.
Oops!! While reading about this tragedy on my black berry I nearly hit a kid running across the rd. Hashem yerachem. Drfive safely. Don’t read and drive.

where and when is the levaya?
.1the mitzvah of v’nishmartem l’nafshothechem is the lesson we must learn.as an ex-teenager some decades ago,the yetzer hara of getting behind the wheel and ripping away,of course i was an amazing driver,but that yetzer hara was uncontrollable,how i survived my teenage driving is a miracle,and i was careful just under estimated the risks
trying to be pro active at such a sad time,i am at loss as to how we can reign in teenage drivers
say they make a takana that nobody under 25 drive in th emountains,is that really reasonable?i was 22 and was in shidduchim while being in the mountains,so is it no driving for me?
the only thing we can try to do is educate our children on safety but this falling asleep at the wheel is a big problem,we all hopefully do not drink,if we do,we surley do not drive,but we all drive when tired,the question is how tired,there is no tired test,though we all know that one does not just fall asleep,rather his head droops and he catches himself after a few times he falls asleep.this i know from many people who fell asleep at the wheel.when i droop the first time,i am at the sid eof the road taking a snooze or switch drivers,but can we demand that of teenagers/
I don’t understand why everyone has to make inanae comments about such a tragedy. As a mother of teens and older and younger children, my heart grieves for the parents and families of those involved. Boruch Dayan Ho’emes.
Please, my cousin Eckstein lives on E. 8th. What are the mother’s and father’s first names?
Perhaps a little more sensitivity to the bein odom lechavairoi. Its unfortunate that until something like this happens nobody could care less about another human being. Bashmutzing another person means another person means nothing. Sheli sheli vesheloch sheloch is unfortunate standard. The fighting going on over stupidity is rampant in our community. Putting up obstacales from neighbors that live next to each other so that they can’t manuever into their driveways, blocking access driveways, metzaar others while you chap a shmuess with your friend and tell the other person off because they can’t wait, Chutzpa. Where has our consideration for another human being gone??? Its terrible what’s going on. When are we going to realize what’s going on with us?? The eibishter is muhning from us. How many people and families are hurting nowadays? There is such rampant tzoros look at the choilim in and out of the hospitals? When are we going to wake up and realize the way we b ehave one th another is dispicable. Stop just caring about yourself. Stop burying and bad mouthing spreading loshen horo. Start b eing more sensitive to others. Perhaps we should remember to treat others the way we want to be treated ourselves. Then the AV HURACHAMIM will treat us better and have rachmunes on all of us.Unfortunately There isn’t a single family that isn’t hurting or suffering from one thing or another either parnassah, shidduchim health issues. When are we going to take off our blinders and sunglasses and realize what’s going on here. This is the three weeks, we should all stop and think and make a chesbon hanefesh.
Hashem yerachem!
always says tefilas haderech!! What’s the name to say tehilim for?

This world is not a court. and as one yid to another yid should not be condemning one another. We should say maybe a faulty seatbelt, maybe he had a blow out of one of the tires, maybe as he started to loose control he tried to un strap himslef, find a maybe. Be don lkof zcus u never know what really happened its only yur imagination so try to imagine that he was doing everything the right way. As for us we should listen to dina D’molchusa. And buckle up and shut up. And yes indeed lower yur speed.
Some 1 said here we should do tshuva, we should do tshuva, but the nature of a human being is, that in 15 minutes we all 4get the oy oy, hashem yerachem that we said, so let’s every 1 do 1 good thing leili nishmas him, daven with minyan, have in mind every word, negel vaser, and let’s upgrade our mitzva’s.
If some 1 does all this stuff anyways, than go up a stage (I’m talking to myself, I’m gonna daven mariv, which I barely do)
