I don’t know the details of these accidents, and can not place blame on the victims or the drivers, but I often drive in BoroPark, and pedestrians do not pay attention when they cross the street. Mothers push strollers into the street, oblivious that cars are coming. Pedestrians are on their phones or in conversations or distracted, without looking to see if a car is coming, if the light is red for them, or if it is safe to cross the street. Drivers need to be careful, but pedestrians ned to be aware and cautious too.
Were these bochurim on scooters and e-bikes?
The first bochur is Yaakov Tzvi Hirsch ben Chana Yittel (not Chaya)
May they have a refuah sheleimah very soon!
