Woman Injured After Being Struck by Van
A Jewish woman was injured after a van turning off Eastern Parkway struck and knocked her down as she was crossing the street. Witnesses called 911 and Hatzalah.
The accident occurred on Wednesday at around 11:00 in the morning at the intersection of Brooklyn Avenue and Eastern Parkway. The van was making a left turn and did not yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian and struck her.
B”H the woman did not suffer any serious or life threatening injuries, but was still transported to a local hospital to be checked out.
A Verizon worker, who happened to be working on a telephone pole, saw the accident and immediately called 911, an ambulance arrived at the scene within a minute of the incident. The driver remained on the scene.
I was the woman injured
Just for the record, i was the one calling 911, and called my husband at work and he called hatzala. The verizon worker didnt move from the pole to help me in spite of the fact that i am pregnant. He cared about his fellow brother and asked me “why dont you work it out between the two of you”. Let’s continue caring for our fellow neighbor, it’s 2012 in usa and i feel the same sinas chinam right in my neighborhood

I hope you have a complete refuah shelaimah. I can’t believe no one came to help you, Im so sorry
To #1 Best Wishes
Sorry you went through such inhumanity from someone who wasn’t prepared to help a Jew. Such a person is unlikely to go out of his way to help his own either. But, after all, it looks like you didn’t need him anyway, you managed to help yourself just fine without his help, B”H!
A pregnant woman-no less!!!!
Try to report him. They should have work records. It could be worse, G-d forbid, next time and it could be any of the posters on this site.
Refuah Shelaima.
