he’s b’h home doing fine, he walked out of the hospital himself
This young man is my nephew (he’s a really wonderful guy) and as far as I know, he didn’t break any ribs, B”H. He was released before Shabbos in good condition thanks to Hashem and to the fact that he was WEARING A SEATBELT and had an airbag in his car. I feel it’s important to let people know how helpful a seatbelt is.
