An explosion followed by high flames coming out of a car was seen Thursday night on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights.
For those residents worried about the cause, we can notify that terror has nothing to do with it.
The car exploded at approximately 9:20 pm on the Parkway, corner Nostrand Avenue, as a result of a 3 car collision. One of the vehicles burst into flame immediately after the crash.
Nearby residents were startled by the scene as firefighters hurried over. Eastern Parkway was closed off to traffic for a short while.
Mobile photos of the scene were sent by COLlive readers.
You are Sooooo Witty!!
Tzinius is par of having godo midot and being humble, something that in Judaism we have being losing it and specially in Chabad, I am chabadnik and I include my self in the package, we need to work more in our humbleness and in vehareini makabel alai mitzvah ase shel veacha tah learecha kamochah.
Moshiach now!!!
I have done a lot of research on Tznius I live in CH and I have lived out of CH. I never said there was not an issue. I just do not think a crash that involved a 29 year old speeding non jew has anything to do with our tznuis. I also think the reason why we have tznius issues are because in the neighborhood and schools it is ok if some people are like one thing and the others are like another. There has been many times I have seen in our schools mothers coming to pick up… Read more »
I drove into town @3am, EP was still closed.
What happened to the steering wheel? Oy, so sad.
so sad
heeee funny
The way these senseless and uber agressive morons drive around here, you risk your life just to cross the parkway. Great pity that people are not more sensible…
All you care about is that the nice cars are damaged?! Someone died in that crash, and all you care about is the cars?!? What is this world coming to?
Are you crazy?? Your’e saying number 12 is wrong?? Do a lot of research on tznious before you say anything that will make you look ignorant! Tznious has a major role for these kind of things!
people dont crash if they see some with a skirt that might be a tiny bit to short! they crash if they dont look where their going or gong to fast!! and anyway there was a non jew in the car so why would he care what jews wear!!!!!!
Is anyone else hurt? Let this be a lesson for all
so sad
DRIVERS SLOW DOWN ON EASTERN PARKWAY ITS REALLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN KIDS ARE CROSSING TO SCHOOL

So sad
i agree w/#12 the driver going down nostrand saw some short skirts on kingston and in his total shock crashed into the other cars. he died instantly.
yup i heard it from 2 people – so we need to fix this problem.
Ignore #12. They are just asking for attention. They want us to get all upset and reply to the comment.
If we ignore the comment instead of getting all upset, he/she won’t get any satisfaction.
i think the whole problem with all the death and distruction in new york and crown hights has mostly to do with pepole not being mishachistin, if you would only open your eyes to the truth in this golluss” yichi hamelech
so many times when Im waiting to cross Eastern Parkway I have to run and stand back like a mile, bec the cars go so fast. its just rediculous. Drivers should slow down!!
Apparently one of the cars was a cabby with three people inside. Heard there was 1 fatality at the scene. Hoping that was the only one but from the looks of the accident that is highly unlikely. That why you should enjoy every moment you have here; that could have been any one of us from crown heights in that cab.
aavat isroel!!!! and achdut!! i think ?no ,?it’s better!!!! michal sadon from paris ,good shabbos!
Please stop comparing everything to tznuis. ! enough already.
YOU ARE A PSYCHO
reply to #12
I have been saying this so much – we need to get better pizza in CH so we can all be safe
yeeeks!!!!!!!!! looks scary……..i hope the ppl that were in the car are fine!!!!!!!!
are you for real?? seriously? you never heard of accidents?
What does tznius have to do with a person driving too fast and killing himself. Tznius had nothing to do with this. The tznius issue in Crown Heights is one thing, a goy speeding to make a light is a second thing. Stop comparing everything that happens to others about our tznius. Go look in other parts of NY at the tznius levels and you will see that most of our girls dress nicely. Also Tznius should not be everything, midos should be and that is lacking more than untznius people in Crown Heights. If they taught midos in schools… Read more »
there were some nice cars there, i hope they can get them repaired
first the tzinus epidemic and now car explosions? oy gut in himmel! lets fix tznius so we can all be safe!
A friend of mine is going to be heart broken when he find out that the men in the burning car died. He saw what happend , and he said to me crying that men is dead ,I said miracles happen ,but I guess God have him in a better place.RIP
We heard the loud bang and we we’re very scared. We didn’t know what it was till my brother ran outside to see
Thank god noone was hurt on the parkway, the car was right there on the sidewalk!
I was in a car at the light when I saw the cart that burned zoom through the light and burst into flames. anyone hear why he sped through the light? because he was going really fast
Hope everyone are ok.
man from burning car didnt make it…
Chessed Shel Emes’ services were not needed in this instance.
hope the passengers are ok…..
any idea if any jews were involved?
There was a man lying near the burning car they were tryng to save him… Then the car that was on fire exploded again.
I was there seconds after the crash. It was not a yid in the fire car. The car was on fire and it then exploded as well. It was very scary and I was shaken up
please update…
oy vey!
