The mothers name states “Tzipoah”. Is that correct, or is it Tziporah?
I know the young man who was driving the car. When he hit her, he panicked. He turned himself in after he had calmed down. (As far as I understand his turning himself in had nothing to do with Shomrim). He knows that he made a terrible mistake. Please, I ask that you don’t daven for him to suffer. Last year, his father in Russia was killed by a hit and run and two years ago his grandmother was run over by a frum person in Flatbush who also left as soon as Hatzoloh took her, leaving them no way to pay the hospital bills. He’s 21 years old and is supporting his mother and little sister (who goes a kiruv school). He’s not a bad kid. He just made a terrible mistake in judgment. Please have rochmonus on him.
