Tehillim is being requested for a Yungerman from Kiryas Yoel who was R”L critically injured in an early morning crash on Route 17.

According to the NY State Police, the victim was travelling eastbound operating a Mercedes Sprinter van when it veered onto the shoulder in the area of Exit 127. It appears that the driver may have over-corrected, causing the van to overturn – blocking the eastbound lanes.

Moments after the crash, a Chevrolet Suburban travelling in the eastbound lanes was unable to stop in time, and slammed into the overturned Sprinter van.

The driver of the Sprinter – a resident of Kiryal Yoel – was rushed to Orange Regional Medical Center where he was listed in critical condition. He was later transferred to Westchester Trauma Center.

The driver of the Suburban suffered minor injuries.
