A horrific crash on the NY State Thruway took the lives of two young men from Monsey early Monday morning. Two two men, identified as Moshe Herzog Z”L (28), and Dovid Tzvi Schnebalg Z”L (27), were returning from Pennsylvania where they had spent Rosh Hashanah when the accident happened. Police are investigating the crash which occurred at 1:45AM on Interstate 87 between Exit 15’s merge with Route 17 and Exit 14B at Airmont Road. The vehicle they were driving in collided with a tractor trailer, which then overturned on top of them causing a fire. Herzog, who was a longtime Rockland Chaveirim volunteer actually used his radio to call for help – stating that they were trapped in the wreckage. It took an extended period of time to extinguish the blaze and took hours for emergency personnel to extricate them. Schnebalg was an EMT who had volunteered his time and helped save many lives. Video from the scene showed the mangled wreck of an overturned tractor-trailer on top of their vehicle. Chesed Shel Emes was assisted by Chaveirim Volunteers as they worked for hours to perform their Avodas Hakodesh. Levaya details will be published when available.
