Oil Slick Causes Accident

The salt coverd, Oil slickend road.

Today [Wednesday] at around 2:30 in the afternoon a Jewish driver turning onto Lefferts Ave. from Brooklyn Ave. didn’t notice that there was an oil slick on the road in the middle of the intersection, and skidded into another car.

There was barely any vehicle damage, but the driver a local Jewish woman was very shaken up and Hatzalah Treated her. FDNY was on scene too.

CrownHeights.info heard that 311 had been called prior to the accident but no one came to take care of it. After the accident the FDNY spread salt to absorb the oil and cleanup the road hazard. The best part of this whole story is that after the accident the Sanitation Department showed up to clean up the oil slick (which was around 4 hours from when 311 was called) and after FDNY had taken care of it.

A pair of armed bandits dressed as FedEx workers fast-talked their way into a Diamond District jewelry business yesterday and pulled off a brazen $4 million stickup.

Brandishing guns and plastic handcuffs, the robbers were in and out of Doppelt & Greenwald Diamonds, a sixth-floor jewelry wholesaler at Fifth Ave. and W. 47th St., in just a few minutes.

UPDATE: FedEx phonies lift $4M in Gem District

CrownHeights.info has received word today that the offices of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council did not open up today. The reason we heard was that the CHJCC employees were outraged by the fact that their health insurance policies were altered with out their knowledge or agreement.

From what we were told that this isn’t a coordinated strike, it is each employee expressing their outrage at whoever is behind this.

We will publish more information as we hear about it. If you have anything to add to this you can email me or post it in the comments.
