[Update below. Video here.] It is with great sadness that we report the passing of a ten-year-old girl following an accident in Boro Park, Brooklyn.
The girl, Blima Friedman, was a daughter of Rabbi and Mrs. Yaakov and Sarah Friedman of Boro Park.
The girl was walking with her mother at 60th Street and 18th Avenue at about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday evening when she was hit by a Honda Odyssey. She was pinned under the vehicle. Hatzolah paramedics arrived quickly to extricate the girl and treat her.
The girl was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, where her petirah was confirmed.
The driver, a 22-year-old male, was questioned by police.
The 33-year-old Mrs. Friedman, who was in her ninth month of pregnancy, was immediately taken to Lutheran Medical Center, where she delivered a healthy baby girl. She is said to be in stable condition.
Levaya details will be posted once they are finalized.
Umachah Hashem dimah meial kol ponim.

May her neshama have an Aliya
Will we ever wake up? is there any hope for us? if we havent woken up yet after hundreds of non-stop tragedies RL occurring will we ever?
Let me know if YOU are ready to do teshuva together with klal yisroel so this can stop already & mashiach can come Bimheira
The driver was a valet parking guy that had just stole the car and was running off with it
lets not make lists, because they tend to minimize the individual human suffering of each family, parents, grandparents, neighbors and classmates etc.. right now lets think about all those affected by the tragedy of this little friedman girl. we should try to go to sleep at night more worthy people, better people, more thoughtful people than we were at the start of our day, and may the knowledge of so many people who feel their pain in some way provide some Nechama to those directly affected by this tragedy
New
No words
this is terrible and the man driving the van who killed the girl is a muslim arab
and he had an outstanding warrant for a drug related arrest
maybe the guy ran them over on purpose because they look like they are jewish
the same family had a tradgedy on chanukah 2009 the twin girl of the girl who was killed by the car was terribly burned in their home fire when the chanukah menorah lit fire
Umacha hashem dimah
amy the new baby bring some nechamah
