CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A fifteen year old Bochur is very lucky to be alive this morning, following an early morning crash on Kingston Avenue and Montgomery Street, where a fifteen passenger car service van and a large SUV were involved in a collision which sent them both on to the sidewalk.
Bystanders told CrownHeights.info that the van was speeding up Kingston but it wasn’t immediately clear who ran the red light. The Bochur, who was crossing Montgomery Street, was hit by the van and was thrown against the wall of Kol-Tuv with the van following him and slamming into the wall a few inches from the Bochur!

The SUV ended up on the sidewalk facing up Kingston, but not before completely destroying the payphone that once stood there, narrowly avoiding the traffic signal pole and the emergency ‘pull-box’.
Hatzalah responded and treated the Bochur then transported him to Kings County Hospital where he was listed in stable condition. FDNY EMS responded and treated the other two drivers.

since when does the word "lucky" have a place in Judaism, especially Lubavitch!
life and death are in the hands of G-d…we call it HASHGACHA PRATIS.
And i am very happy for him and his family that G-d chose life. May he get well soon!
