Firstly bde ..terrible news …as the owner of an auto body shop in Lakewood we fix a lot of Tesla’s and sadly it’s something we see a lot that Tesla’s ( and many newer cars ) after airbag deployment the vehicle will no longer run not allowing it to be moved safely out of harms way it’s important to know this to get yourself and occupants of the car out and safe away from the car

This is terrible. I was heading home from a Lakewood wedding back to Monsey last night and passed the scene. So devastating. May the family have a neshama and the neshama have an Aliyah. Who is his wife?
Such a tragedy :’-(
May Rabbi Eliyahu Fink rest in peace and May his memory be a blessing.
Amen
We don’t know Hashem’s chesbonois but I spoke to a chavarim member who told me an amazing hasgacha protis involving getting him a proper kvura.
Chaval. So sad! May his holy Neshama have an Aliyah.
