Van Carrying Bachurim from Lakewood-based Camp in Texas Overturns in Accident; Two Airlifted in Stable Condition [UPDATED FRIDAY]

An accident involving a van carrying bachurim from a Lakewood-based summer camp occurred in Texas today, resulting in two hospitalizations.

The incident happened around 6:00 PM, when the van from camp Lehachyos Chaim collided with a truck that reportedly made a sudden turn in front of them, and overturned.

Two Bachurim reportedly sustained multiple injuries, but none were life-threatening.

One boy was out of surgery 1am last night, and bh it went very well, and one boy was out of surgery 10am this morning with also a successful surgery.

Baruch Hashem they will all be OK.
A Summer Camp in Texas are they Crazy! It’s 110° there now in the summer. Many Texas residents flee up North for the Summer. And after the summer Southern Texas becomes Hurricane Alley & Northern Texas becomes Tornado Alley. Housing and Land is cheap there for a reason.
