Tragedy Avoided in Camp Meor Hatorah After Vehicle Crashes onto Camp Grounds

By: Toby Friedman

At 8:00 this morning, the driver of a pickup truck dozed off and lost control of his vehicle on Route 42 in the Town of Fallsburg.

The vehicle crashed through trees and into Meor Hatorah Camp where it flipped over before coming to a halt.

Miraculously, the driver came out unscathed. 

“This could have been a lot worse had it occurred just 20 minutes later,” said Yoely Goldstein, the manager of Meor Hatorah Camp after he explained that the children who go off premises for the day wait for their bus at that spot.

The local fire department responded to the scene where tragedy was thankfully avoided.
