An Israeli Bochur was struck by a bus and seriously injured after attempting to cross Eastern Parkway early Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at around 6:45am near the intersection of Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue. The victim, a 22-year-old Israeli national who graduated Kvutzeh last year, was attempting to cross the busy street when he was struck by a yellow mini school bus.
EMS and Hatzalah treated the victim, who sustained a head injury along with a serious leg injury, he was then rushed to Kings County Hospital where he was listed in serious condition. Doctors initially feared that the leg injury may require an amputation, but have since reversed and are treating it.
The NYPD Crash Investigation Squad was called in to investigate the incident since a serious injury was reported.

They shouldn’t have a green light for traffic going Eastward when the left turn arrow is green. It’s a big “sakana” for the jay walkers who only look at the flow of traffic and don’t look at the walk/don’t walk signs.
