46 year old Aharon Shmuel Deutsch 46 and his 24 year old son in law Shlomo Birnhack were both pronounced dead at Nyack Hospital. Deutsch’s wife is critical and other family members sustained serious injuries.
The incident took place shortly after 4 PM on New Hempstead Road just west of exit 11 on the Palisades Interstate Parkway when the silver 15 passenger van left the roadway for unknown reasons.
Multiple emergency crews including the Ramapo Police Department, Chaverim of Rockland, Hatzolah, New City EMS and the Hillcrest Fire Department responded to the scene near the Friedwald Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, just a short distance from New Square.
Yossi Margaretten of Chaverim of Rockland County told VIN News that 11 people were in the van at the time of the crash. All of the passengers had to be extricated by first responders, with victims airlifted to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern and Nyack Hospital in Nyack. Three victims were reported to be in very serious condition.
The cause of the accident in the 35 mile per hour zone was not immediately known. The entire area is shut down as first responders and police continue processing the scene.

Vans of this type tend to often get in accidents when loaded with people. Many school insurers have specially carved out these vans as not to be insured when loaded or overloaded with people. The weight distribution changes when it is loaded with people and can also exceed the planned weight being carried. having space does not mean the van was designed to carry the weight.
heartbreaking

Please say Tehillim for the injured, especially kapitlakh 6, 20, 69, 130, 142, and the letters of their names and mothers’ names (including the word “bas”, or “ben”). Really heartbreaking!
I hope the coroners office, under pressure from King Cuomo, won’t announce that these were death’s due to Covid 19. Let’s keep those numbers up so we can blame President Trump.
