1 Pedestrian Killed In horrible car pileup

A woman was killed when a mini-school bus jumped the curb and pinned the woman against a building in Brooklyn. Five others were injured in the accident, which involved the school bus and two other vehicles.

The accident occurred right across the street from the Ocean Ave. Hatzalah garage. Dozens of Flatbush Hatzalah members responded to the call.

Police say the accident which was on Ocean Avenue and Avenue N, occurred when a minivan hit a woman who was crossing the street while the light was against her. She was taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries.

A mini school bus rear-ended an SUV that was slowing down for the accident, and another car hit the school bus — pushing it onto the curb. When the school bus jumped the curb it hit another woman on the sidewalk, pinning her against a building. That woman died at the scene.

Police say four people were taken to Maimonides Hospital, and the bus driver was taken to Kings County Hospital. They are all listed in stable condition.

Although reports indicate that their was only one fatality, witness's reported seeing at least four bodies R"L covered by white sheets from the medical examiner.

another car accident

At approximately 9:45pm Motzei Shabbos, at the intersection of Union & Brooklyn, an elderly man walked into traffic while the light was in favor of the cars. By doing so, a car had to swerve violently to avoid him, and ended up piling into another car and actually going under it. Thanks to the watchful eye of Hashem, nobody was hurt. The driver was a yid, as was the pedestrian.
