Three brothers were injured, one seriously, in an accident in Lakewood a short time ago.
The single-car accident happened aroundmidnight on Drake Road, sending their vehicle into the trees.
One Bachur was seriously injured, and the other two moderately injured.
The patients, who are from Mexico, were transported Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Please be Mispallel for Yosef Chaim ben Netti Neri.
The Traffic Safety division of the LPD is investigating.
UPDATE 9:15 AM: Police tell TLS the road conditions and speed appear to be a factor in the accident.
The driver and front passenger were released from the hospital, while the back passenger suffered serious injuries when he was partially ejected from the vehicle upon impact, and remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
Prayers and well wishes for all involved
perhaps it is time for a 25 mph speed limit on all lkwd streets
it would solve many problems
Where is your sensitivity. Are you a prophet? How do you know that they were not going 25 miles an hour but due to the slick road conditions they had to avoid an object in the road and that caused them to veer off. I don’t know either, but neither do you. Let’s keep our insensitive comments to ourselves especially until all the facts are known. And even after that I think it’s better to keep comments to ourselves
What’s the Tehillim names?
To SB:
Nah. Instead of the inept drivers doing 15 mph over the speed limit they’d be doing 30 mph over the speed limit.
Here’s an idea for the next Asifa:
Let’s call it אלה ברכב and impress upon people the importance of driving; save the body from physical harm, save the soul from chilul Hashem.
May the boys have a speedy recovery!
Why do people insist on making assumptions and giving mussar right after an accident when people are worried about the injured??
I know no details about the accident, but I happen to know that block is sorely missing lights.
Drake is a very windey, bumpy and dark road. It’s not easy to drive it late at night, although during the day and for someone who knows the road it’s fine. It says in the story they were from out of the country, they were probably just following waze and unfamiliar with the street. While Lakewood drivers can in general use improvement, this is not the time or place to bring that up.
May those involved experience a complete refuah.
Of course we all care about the injured. We wish them a speedy recovery. We alao care about what causes these accidents. Just look at the pictures. Those damages don’t happen at 25mph. Of course they were speeding. BH no pedestrians were there to get killed.
I drive on that street a lot. If you don’t know the street the turns can be very dangerous even if not driving so fast plus it was raining. Need more street lights in Lakewood. And yes maybe we need an Asifa about driving.
Safety driving is very important, so is wearing seatbelts (all passengers), but to limit to 25mph is ludicrous (why not lower it to 10mph, isn’t that safer?, why not lower the highway speed to 25mph as well, why not? A accident at 25 is a lot less destructive than a accident at 65mph, no?)
A driver should have the common sense to drive safely. Some twisted roads 15mph is the safe responsible speed and some non twisted roads 45mph is equally the safe responsible speed.
These kids should have a Refuah Shleima and Hashem should watch us all, we shouldn’t get into accidents and not cause accidents
All the injured should have a speedy recovery.
It appears to me that wearing seat belts in the back seat is equally important like the front passengers.
Many people think that I am sitting in the back, I will be fine.
why is not anyone talking about seatbelts? notice how the front passengers are ok but the back passenger is not ok and was partially ejected from the car.
Everyone needs to wear a seatbelt in the backseat of the care no matter his age. You are not safe just because you are sitting in the back

I live in the area and avoid that road at night as much as I can. It has terrible potholes and has turns and curves with poor visibility.
What does the parents being from Mexico have to do with anything??
Says patients not parents
we have the victims in mind.so tragic.
since 4 people here mentioned it
i am also for a driving asifa
Drake Rd is very narrow, has dangerous curves, lots of bumps, a few potholes, very very dark, almost zero lights.
This boy is regular yeshiva boy in slomowitz yeshiva, please please daven for him. and another brother is a chosson getting married in 3 weeks, Please have them in mind
Kindly update the Tzibbur on the Bochurs condition as we daven for his Recovery.
