A serious crash on Route 17 left a couple in critical condition late Sunday night.
Sources tell YWN Catskills that the accident happened at around 11:40PM, near Exit 123. There were three vehicles involved – one of them an ambulance (Mobile Life).
Catskills Hatzolah, Kiryas Joel Hatzolah, and Goshen Vol. Ambulance were all operating at the scene.
Three choppers were called to airlift three victims with serious injuries. The Medevac’s landed on the highway forcing the closure of both directions of traffic.
Sources tell YWN Catskills that one of the vehicles involved in the crash, was a minivan occupied by a Jewish family, residents of the Five Towns. The occupants were a mother, father, and four of their children. They were allegedly returning from “visiting day” at one of the camps in the Catskills.
The parents are reportedly in critical condition and were airlifted to Westchester Trauma Center.
For reasons unknown, it appears the mother and father were standing next to their vehicle when their vehicle was struck. The vehicle which struck them also collided with an ambulance.
The four children were taken to Orange Regional Medical center and are reportedly in stable condition.
The NY State Police is on the scene conducting an investigation.

Aidele, sweet, askanadig yidden.
Their quick complete refuah will be celebrated mightily.
Oy vey!
The ride up and down from the mountains is really grueling. It is rough on the drivers and most probably the vehicles. Yet, every year it a a Chok v’lo yaavor that people drive up and drive down, tired, drained and irritable. We need extra shmira!
Perhaps it is time for camps to do away with visiting day. Many camps went up just a week ago and will be returning in a week or two’s time. Is it really necessary to have visitors just one week after leaving home and/or one week before returning?
Plz daven for them they r an amazing family and they have little kids!!!
I heard that Bobov and Bobov 45 and vien discontinued the two visiting day at all
