At 1:30AM Friday morning, Hatzolah Air was making their third emergency transport in just six hours.
Sources tell YWN that a flight crew with Hatzolah Paramedics departed from Westchester Airport to New Hampshire, to transport a couple involved in a serious car crash back to a Manhattan hospital.
One of the victims sustained multi-system trauma including spinal injuries in the crash. Tehillim is needed for נעכא יענטא בת רבקה רחל.
Just hours earlier, Hatzolah Air did a flight to North Carolina and Cleveland, and another flight to Chicago.
The last few weeks have seen a huge spike in flight requests from Hatzolah divisions across the world including coordinating the bodies of 2 of the victims in the Ukrainian plane crash by Hatzolah Air’s Europe Ops Division to the United States and 1 to England last week.

Thank you to hatzola and to the wonderful supporters
“GENUG SHOIN” ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – TIME TO TAKE ACTION!
Admorim, Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshivos, Menahalim, Camp leaders and Askonim should think of taking drastic action to stop these often senseless avoidable tragedies.
While I don’t know any details of this and any other accident, they happen far too often.
Takones should be instituted to raise the minimum age for driving to at least 18.
Drivers should be encouraged to take a voluntary advanced driving course similar to the European and Israeli one and parents, camp leaders etc should make it a condition for their children only to be driven by a driver who passed a stringent driving test.
May all insured get a speedy Refuoh Shleimoh and we should no longer hear about any tragedies.
