If it was a “Bachur”, why didn’t Hatzolah respond/transport?

I don’t know what happened there, but maybe it’s important to remind the olam to wear REFLECTORS, even on Shabbos including men, women & children. I can’t say how many times I drive at night & nearly miss someone because they ARE NOT WEARING A REFLECOTR…even if your just running from your car across the road to daven maariv!
BE SMART SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE & WEAR A REFLECTOR!

is this why there were sounds of fire trucks in the east end area?

REFLECTORS should made mandatory. I think in RAMAPO (Monsey) they are mandatory.

Let’s see if the olam can show a little respect for the meis and skip all the stupid comments.

Thers word that The street light where he was hit was out
OLD GOYIM BILLY October 5, 2009 11:18 pm At 11:18 pm

My thoughts and prayers go out to this person’s loved ones

As for the street light being out- was it reported to the electric company. I was told if it’s not reported they have no way of knowing when the lights are not working. They said all the light poles have #’s on them and use that # when reporting them out or blinking on and off.

MAYBE THE OILUM SHOULD ME MISHTATAIF WITH THEIR TZAAR AND LEARN AN EXTRAH HOUR BEFORE GOING ON A CHOL HAMOAD TRIP. ALSO, LEARN 2 HALACHOS PER DAY OF SHMIRAS HALOSHON AS A SHMIRAH.
