    I saw the whole thing – Hatzakah was amazing those guys are really super.

    right after the accident, after making sure the passenger was alright, the hatzalah member ran over to the car that struck the hatzalah van to see if the passengers needed help.

    As one of the passengers in the ambulance I would just like to say how impressed I was with the Hatzolah EMTs. The care they gave my daughter and my self was efficient, personal and warm.
