As YWN reported, the family was returning home to Cleveland from the East Coast when they were involved in the serious accident in Pennsylvania. According to PA State Police, the accident occurred around 2:29AM on I-80 near mile-marker 66.6, when their minivan collided with a tractor trailer that had been disabled from a previous collission.

A ChesedFund page has been set up to help the family financially during this hard time. It would help cover the exorbitant amount of medical and related expenses. Please open you heart and donate with love. Your Tefilos and Tzedakah will surely go a long way to help the Gruen’s during their time of need.
