i was driving down 17th and had to make a U-turn once I got to 53. It was blocked off and there were alot of police etc…
buruch dyen emes!!!!!!!! what’s the name of the other people injered? so we can say some tehilim! and what’s the name of the old man?
That corner has very bad visibility. Many close calls over the years.
Any information on the identity of the people involved?
Was the older man a yid? What was his name? If it is a place where there is known to have bad visibility people should take caution going through the area.
Nebech , its not right to put names , mabe the family was not notified yet…

Suggest that your writer say in the future,….”unrelated incident/accident”. this will make it clearer.
