mame for tehilim?
Slow it down, boys & girls, its the 9 days !
Once again, our LFA team has done a great job! Thank you to all of you who helped extricate.
Misaskim was not called.
So many sad stories- in the nine days, u gotta be more careful!!!!! why were they speeding thru the intersection?????? 🙁 🙁
nice job with EMS Command 511….Great job to both extrication teams and first aid squads……
good job to everyone involved. its not easy doing what needs to be done. often times, seeing things that would give a regular person the paralyzing shivers, these brave folks continue to do the job that needs to be done.
-to everyone else, PLEASE SLOW DOWN. PAY ATTENTION. WE ALL HAVE LOVED ONES THAT LIVE IN LAKEWOOD- YOU DONT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HURTING ANYONE SIMPLY DUE TO CARELESSNESS.
I would love it if they would lower the speed limit to 25 or 35 at all times.
the cars all go between 55 and 65
Drunk drivers don’t care what the speed limits are. The driver who hit the womans car had a few too many.
in the video some members by the car were not wearing proper gloves, and/or helmets. If you don’t have proper gear get away and stay away from the hot zone.
TIME FOR TESHUVA
NO MORE SIGNS OF TRAGEDIES NEEDED FROM HASHEM
if we all start teshuva now we won’t need any more of these tragic wake-up calls from Hashem
Maybe the zoning office should look into installing traffic lights to all the driveways that enter county line rd. and James street.
@8 that won’t work it’s 25mph in some areas as it is and people don’t do it. People need to slow down especially when the road is wet, you can’t stop a car on a dime with wet roads. Whatever they “need” to get to will still be there.
is there a need for tehilim
hello, sorry for your injuries but listen CL Rd is not the GSP , BQU, or the Turnpike…..slow down you highway racing drivers who yap on your cell phones all day long…if that was one of my children you almost killed they wouldn’t have to cut you out from the car…..
does anyone know how this woman is?
Make sure your kids are wearing HELMETS when they are on their bikes!!! Its crazy to see sony children in lakewood not wearing them……
i am sure they were on the phone
to #10 @zydco – this crash had nothing to do with the driveway other then the car coming to a stop almost in one!
fact is drunk driving was the cause for this MVA. All the laws having stopped people from drinking and driving.
Reply to #15
Maybe its about time to have the kids wear helmets in the CARS of some of these Lakewood drivers!!!
great job #55!!!!
speed limit signs are for normal people. for those that are otherwise busy ie under the influence of alchohol or their phone via texting, talking, they are meaningless.
#9 I agree with you, these responders should be wearing the proper PPE when performing these duties, this is the standard for this type of incident.
You are a (moderated). This poor woman was hit head on by a drunken driver and you make nasty assumptions about her???! You should go down to Jersey Shore and apologize to her and her family for posting horrible things about her just because you don’t like Lakewood people!!
SHAME ON YOU
to # 12 there is a light on james street all the way to cross street their is a light, maybe on williams and james st they might want to put a light. and to #15 how can you say such a thing shame on you
why weren’t all of the first aiders wearing PPE where is their supervisor, these responders are going to get hurt.
