    The article says that she STALLED on the corner of Eastern and Brooklyn 11 PM FRIDAY NIGHT (SHABBOS).

    So if she stalled on Shabbos, she must have been driving on Shabbos and if so; she probably wasn’t someone from the Shchunah.

    It is not as “freak” of an “accident” as you might think. I have seen a few. You have a fender bender and you get out to see what happened to the bumper standing between your car and the other one. When a third car comes and hits the car that just hit your car.

    The last time I saw it the guy lost both of his legs. Think twice before getting behind a car on a dark street, think twice even if there is a car between you cause the car that comes from behind that hits that car can cause the car to “re-hit the car they hit and if you are between them consider the fun in a prosthetic leg.

    DID IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF SHE WAS JEWISH ? SHE WAS A HUMAN BEING, A MOTHER, A DAUGHTER AND A SISTER. SHE LOST BOTH HER LEGS. PRAY FOR HER THATS WHAT SHE NEEDS. SHE HAS A LONG ROAD TO REHABILATION. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP DRIVING LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW. I DON’T KNOW IF THIS WAS UNAVOIDABLE OR NOT BUT DRIVE WITH RESPONSIBILITY.(EASTERN PARKWAY ACCIDENT)
