Tragedy struck the New Square Kehilla on Monday, after the passing of two family members traveling in the same vehicle.
Sources tell YWN that two families were in a van heading to a family wedding in New York City, when they were involved in a serious crash just outside of New Square.
It happened just before 4:30 PM on Route 45 and New Hempstead Road near Freidwald Center.
Hatzolah Paramedics arriving on the scene found numerous occupants heavily entrapped in the vehicle, and immediately requested the fire department for extrication.
At least 10 victims were transported to various hospitals – including Westchester and Nyack – some of them in critical condition.
Two victims, a father and his son-in-law, both passed away at the hospital after suffering massive injuries. Sources tell YWN that it took nearly 45 minutes to extricate both of them from the vehicle.
The wife of those deceased remains unresponsive and in critical condition. Multiple victims suffered femur fractures, and numerous victims were rushed into emergency surgeries.

Unity is the answer -in תורת מנחם שיחת יב תמוז תשכז
The Rebbe speaks about machlokes -division and fight in a community as a source of the opposite of life Ch”v and that unity and love bring long life and prosperity. What we could do is eliminate machlokes and be more truthfully United
