A 6-year-old child is in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle in Boro Park, and people are being asked to say Tehillim.
The tragic incident happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 2:30PM on 54th Street near 13th Avenue – in the heart of Boro Parks Jewish community.
Eye witnesses said the child was struck so hard that he was thrown many feet, and became pinned under a parked vehicle.
Hatzolah was on the scene in seconds, followed moments later by FDNY and the NYPD.
The child was quickly extricated, and Hatzolah Paramedics began working to stabilize the child.
He was rushed to Lutheran Trauma Center, where he is listed in very critical condition.
The NYPD Highway Patrol Unit was on the scene conducting an investigating into the cause of the incident.
Please be Mispallel for Berish ben Chana Rivka.
