  1. It’s o.k. No one is holding their breath to learn every last detail with regards to the MVA that happened today on our Shabbos Kodesh.

  2. Hey Jimbo, two answers to your cynical remark:
    1. Perhaps the authorities weren’t releasing enough details to be published.
    2. There is a good chance that TLS is run by 7th Day Adventists who observe the Sabbath and weren’t able to post this earlier.

    Just take out a Book of Psalms and pray

  3. To fair minded; you should be ashamed of yourself for saying such a terrible thing. Perhaps if you knew the people involved you would be singing a different tune. Have some humanity! That being said, my heart goes out to all those involved and hope everyone makes a quick and speedy recovery!

  4. Just a thought as to why there are these major accidents on shabbos. The roads are empty! People don’t get a chance to get into fatal accidents when cedar bridge is backed up due to standard lakewood traffic.

  5. I know the family of the victim struck and killed how dare you say that accidents only happen on Shabbos lakewood has the highest rate of accidents due to all the congestion all you see when driving through lakewood is people running stop signs and red lights cause there in a hurry and constantly on there cell phones that’s why people have bumper stickers that read pray for me I drive in lakewood send your condolences instead of a comment like that
