Not to take anything away from the neis that happened to this Hatzolah member, but why print this story and ignore the tragic accident that took the life of R’Dovid Winiarz z”l?
Moderators Note: Actually, not that we are chas veshalom bragging about it, but YWN was the first to report the tragic accident yesterday – just shortly after it happened. In fact, it was on the homepage until well after the Levaya (more than 24 hours). http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/boruch-dayan-emmes/281408/tragedy-frum-man-from-nyc-rl-killed-in-ice-storm-crash-in-maryland.html
