Regarding the accident on 49th St. and 13th Ave.

A boy who was walking fell into a DEP manhole on the corner of 49th St. and 13th Ave. Thank G-d he was pulled out and seems to be okay.

It is important that everyone is aware of the work that is going on in Borough Park so such accidents can be avoided. Please warn your children to be extra careful.

We are looking into how this accident was even possible. We are a community of families and children and everyone must exercise the very highest safety measures to protect everyone here.
