A horrific tragedy struck the Jewish community on Thursday night, as word spread of the deaths of two young men in the Chassidish community who were killed in a car crash in the Catskills.

Catskills Hatzolah and other emergency personnel were at the horrific scene on Church Road in Mountaindale, where a vehicle had overturned, rolled down an embankment, and burst into flames, killing both of the vehicle’s occupants.

Hatzolah personnel rushed to the scene but were tragically unable to save the crash victims.

Chevra Kadisha were at the scene to ensure kavod hameis.

The victims were identified as Yisroel Sholom (ben Yaakov) Oshri Z”L, from the Belzer Community in Boro Park, and Mendel (ben Moshe) Weinberger Z”L, from the Satmar Kehilla.
