Is there a name for tehillim?
That’s a rotten intersection even for cars. The area can’t handle the volume of traffic, especially at peak times. The time has come to revamp the roads so they can accommodate the traffic.
May he have a complete and quick refuah sheleima and be blessed with a long life.
Although i’m not sure that this comment is even appropriate here…I saw the scene tonight as i was driving home. It was traumatic.
It is time that the parents/schools/rabbanim in this town focus on pedestrian safety. Reflectors, proper protocol when crossing roads. We want to keep our children safe.
bh he is doing ok with no serious head injuries!
How about this for a thought, have schools dismiss before dark then students will not have to cross roads in dark.
Seems to be too much of this in Lakewood. the big question is, is it the pedestrians or the vehicles?
What do you mean pedestrian? It’s a Jewish boy. And he’s in critical condition please have him in mind when you daven.
garyyankeefan: Its all 3!
Pedestrians aren’t careful enough
Drivers aren’t careful enough
& our little “town infrastructure” is long expired. It cannot accommodate the city we’ve become
He is not in critical condition! He is actually back home!!
What a Jewish boy is not a pedestrian ? If you are walking on the highway you are a pedestrian no matter who you are.
