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!

Either way, Rep. Anthony Weiner last week touted his work in helping 12 Brooklyn non-profit and religious institutions get federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grants.

Among the “high-risk” non-profits, according to Weiner, that are receiving federal funds include such vulnerable targets as the Medical Rehabilitation Center in Borough Park.
