Bar Mitzvah Boy in Serious Condition – UPDATE
This morning a boy was hit by a car on Eastern Parkway as he was coming out of the Mikvah. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital where he is undergoing surgery. Please say tehillim for Menachem Mendel ben Nechama. UPDATE: B”H the Bochur is out of surgery and is doing fine.
The accident occurred at around 9:30am in the service road in front of 749 Eastern Parkway. The young Bochur, who is going to be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah this coming Monday, was coming out of the Mikvah when he was hit by the car.
He suffered fractures to his head and hip and is reported to have bleeding near his brain. He underwent surgery this morning.
The family requested that tehilim be recited for Menachem Mendel ben Nechama for his complete and speedy recovery.
Update: The family notified CrownHeights.info that B”H Menachem Mendel is out of surgery and is doing fine, he is expected to make a full recovery.
Please, Please
In driving around Crown Heights today there were soooo many pedestrians crossing in the middle of the street, against the light or just without looking!!!
As it starts to get warm, people get excited and forget themselves, please be aware of where you are walking in the street.
Be careful, stay safe! We love you to much!
Refuah Shelimah to the bochur!
Moshiach Now!!

#1: You are right! Unfortunately too many Brooklynites–including Orthodox Jews–drive as they are out of control. Just yesterday, on the way to the library on Eastern Parkway when a driver horn blaring ran red lights as he crossed over Eastern Parkway, and too often I have seen the Boro Park community as well as others “cuss out” young mothers with strollers who walked with the walk signal because they interfered with their turn. No one has any patatience, traffic is horrific and too many cars, so in order to get there yesterday, run over all who are in the way
Hashem
thank you for the good news!!!
May it go m’choyil el choyil
To the Samuels, sheyichyu

Your spelling and sentence structure and poor use of grammar lead me to believe that you wrote that response while driving.
That is dangerous and illegal.
Please park, think about what you want to say and then write it in a logical and coherent manner.
We will all be safer that way.
disgusting
how could you say that? actually, surprisingly, the level of grammar and punctuality has decreased significantly in case you havent noticed. just because it is not perfect does not mean the person was on their phone as they wrote the comment. more people text and drive then ‘comment of crownheights.info and drive’,

Was this boy on the Excellent Bus coming from Toronto Thursday night? I was sitting in back of him, he was telling me he’s celebrating his bar mitzvah in a few days…

The problem is more with pedestrians than anything,noboby wants to wait for the light to cross or cross in the crosswalk. open your eyes to the truth.
I will make a bet
One of them was on a cell phone when it happened. These cell distraction accidents are becoming worse then guns.

He doesn’t have a cell phone
Right of way
He was in the cross walk walking on a GREEN. The driver was on the phone.

They need to do something about that service road next to the Yeshiva.Many students are nearly hit there every day.Maybe they should add a crosswalk or place a bump in the road.This kind of accident was just waiting to happen.Enough is enough.
