Man Clings to Life After Crashing Into Tree Outside Ohel
An SUV plowed into a tree right outside the Ohel in Queens and the driver had to be cut free from the wreckage. When the driver was finally freed he was rushed to the hospital in ‘traumatic arrest’.
The accident occurred in front of the ‘4th house’ at the Ohel in front of the eyes of many horrified bystanders, who upon seeing the severity of the accident called Hatzalah and 911.
Firefighters, EMS and Hatzalah all responded and made a unified effort to save the life of the driver, while making a big Kiddush Hashem in the process.
Once firefighters managed to cut the driver free EMS rushed him to Franklin General Hospital in ‘Traumatic Arrest’. Accident Investigation Squad offiers are investigating the cause of the crash.
Update: The driver, a 27-year-old Queens man, who was first treated by Hatzalah and made a big Kiddush Hashem, since the man was not Jewish, sadly died of his injuries at Franklin General Hospital. Police crash investigators say the single car crash can be attributed to the weather conditions.

Poor guy. I hope he can be saved. Perhaps the Ohel should do some nice gesture like place flowers there as a nice gesture to victim and to the gentile neighbors…
Wondering
Is he jewish?
Is Tehillim needed?

Traumatic arrest is almost always fatal. Weather may have played a role but so did his reckless driving.
OUCH!!
What a horrible accident, the pictures are quite graphic. This man was someone’s husband, son, brother, father, friend. It’s very tragic.
Nit a unzerer
It is not a Yid, I witnessed last night at the tree some people putting a candle balloons and flowers on the site of the tree and ribbons too.
They are full with pain. Not Yiden!

On other news sites, people don’t say things like, “They’re not a Gentile. Not one of us.” A person who has suffered and died is only that, a human being.
Why people on ch.info feel the need to beat a dead horse with “not a Yid” is beyond me.
