A van of Bochrim from a camp in Virginia overturned in North Carolina on Thursday night.
It happened at around 7:00PM, when a van carrying Bochrim part of Camp Chaburas Bain Hazmanim / Machaneh Richmond was involved in a crash while driving in North Carolina. The camp was reportedly returning from a trip jet-skiing when the crash happened on River Road near Post Office Road in Henrico.
One 18-year-old boy is in critical condition. He was taken to Halifax Regional Medical Center.
The Gaston Fire-Rescue-EMS says that upon arrival, 17 patients were found. Of the patients, 11 were non-urgent, five were urgent, and one was critical. Of the five urgent patients, one was found trapped inside of the multi-passenger van. Two rows of rear seats were removed by firefighters using hydraulic rescue cutters and reciprocating saws.
The Roanoke Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department called it a “chaotic scene”, and thanked the multiple agencies for working together to provide emergency care.
Please say Tehillim for:
Eliyahu Avraham Ben Keren — critical.
Yisroel Meir ben Yuta Nechama — serious.
Yitzchok ben Chana Raizel — moderate.
Refuah shelaimah !
