The baby boy delivered after his hasidic parents were killed in a hit-and-run accident in Brooklyn Saturday night has reportedly died.
WCBS News Radio 880 reportedly announced the baby’s death this morning based on information it received from Satmar community activist Isaac Abraham.
Nachman and Raizy Glauber were riding in a car service on their way to a hospital because Raizy, who was pregnant with the couple’s first child, had felt unwell, when the livery vehicle was struck head on by a speeding BMW.
The livery car’s engine ended up in the back seat of the car. Raizy was ejected from the vehicle and died of blunt force trauma. Her baby, aboy weighing only about four pounds, was delivered by cesarean section at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan.
The boy was initially been listed in serious condition.
The Glaubers’ driver was treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital.
The driver of the BMW and a passenger fled and were still being sought by police this morning.
this just took whatever air was left out of this terrible accident. omg

The Forward asks "what more can happen to this family?"
I know: someone who rats out the BMW's driver will get harrassed for mesira.

Most probably the owner of the bmw is a drug dealer i canr find any other explanation of having a backround like she does ,the guy most probably is fleeing back to mexico he wont give himself up.

"We in the community are going to demand that the prosecution charge these cowards with triple homicide, and nothing less," Abraham said, referring to the driver of the BMW.

unless they find out it was a frum person then the excuses will fly like the times a frum person was involved in a hit and run and the victim was a gentile

So tragic. I hope, if the hit and run driver is also frum, that the community do the right thing.

If a member of Satmar can advise as to any mitzvahs we can take on in the merit of the deceased, please let us know.

seymour -The driver if you follow the news in definitly not jewish the owner of the car is a spanish woman i think this gang is dealing in drugs i heard she the cars owner did insurance fraud i dont understand seymour how you cannot see that this driver is obviously not jewish its a no brainer this driver most probably is an illigal alien fleeing back to mexico.

I was making a general comment
why do you think he is a drug dealer?
Posted by: seymour | March 04, 2013 at 09:16 AM
some people are just so blinded by their frum hatred that the are hoping the driver is frum, you people make me sick

you are wrong my comment was simple when the tables are turned the frum make excuse for the driver and do not want harsh penalties
that is all I meant
Posted by: seymour | March 04, 2013 at 09:22 AM
I wonder why they were using an ordinary car service to go from Williamsburg to BI in Manhattan with the woman in premature labor (baby only about 4 lbs).
Why didn't Hatzoloh transport them?
What do most women in labor in Wmsbg do when it's time to go to the hospital? Use some car service with the driver going like crazy with a woman in labor in the back seat?
Hatzoloh could have used flashing lights and siren to get there faster and safer, and they could have started an IV and given a drug to try to stop the premature labor, and have her laying down instead of sitting.
A lot of questions will need to be answered about all this.

seymour -The reason i think he is a drug dealer is one the bmw that he drove and also he was with another person in the car i heard he is also on the run plus the owner of the car its a she spanish you tell me what other conclusion can you draw from all this info?.
Posted by: jancsibacsi | March 04, 2013 at 09:28 AM
A horrible end to an awful tragedy.
Posted by: A. Nuran | March 04, 2013 at 09:35 AM
WSC - You don't need hatzoloh for this. You drive normally or take a car service. People who wait long enough to need Hatzolo are irresponsible.
Posted by: groinem | March 04, 2013 at 09:37 AM
Jancs, I agree there is something very suspicious with the driver of the BMW, and the owner of the BMW. What kind of person crashes a car, especially an expensive luxury car, then runs away? Must have been some sort of criminal.
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | March 04, 2013 at 09:39 AM
Wsc. She thought she wasnt feeling the baby move. That doesnt warrant calling hatzoloh.
Take the cotton out of ur ears and the wool off your face. Let ahabas yisroel in
Posted by: Willy momma | March 04, 2013 at 09:42 AM
Groinem, thank you, but this was premature labor and a medical emergency, not routine labor. I believe the nearest hospital is indeed BI, and that's not a fast trip by ordinary car when every minute counts.
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | March 04, 2013 at 09:45 AM
groinem- I agree with for this you dont need hatzolah for this,but you are wrong when you write that you have to wait long for hatzolah here in bp i had hatzolah come to my house when my father was sick and they always come in record short time sometimes in a minute but definitly not more then 3 or 5 minutes they are much faster here then a regular emergency they tazolah came to my house dozens of times and alway the wait was minimal
Posted by: jancsibacsi | March 04, 2013 at 09:46 AM
Willy 9:42, what you describe is also a medical emergency. Why else are they going to the Emergency Room late at night? If you called your doctor and said you don't feel the baby moving, they would tell you call an ambulance and come to the hospital right away.
If you want more ahabas yisroel, don't try to cheat me when I walk into a store on Lee Ave.
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | March 04, 2013 at 10:27 AM
Whatever reasons this is a horrible tragedy. My sincere condolences to the families of these two young people. To go from the joy of an impending birth to the horror of 3 funerals is unimaginable.
Posted by: Alter Kocker | March 04, 2013 at 10:30 AM
Sorry to disappoint some of you haters on here, but the BMW owner was arrested, lives in the Bronx, and clearly is not Jewish. The chances that she loaned the car to a Jew are non existant.
Posted by: Reese | March 04, 2013 at 11:17 AM
The kind compassionate secular trolls are out in full force.For a minute i wondered how come FM is reporting this tragedy when it has nothing to do with "Haredi crime".
WoolSilkCotton,
You always bash Hatzolah even when they go on emergency cases with flashing lights and siren so with you when it comes to your fetish the frumma its a no win.
Also,WSC,tell me how you were cheated on Lee ave???
Posted by: Deremes | March 04, 2013 at 11:22 AM
As best as I can tell, there was no "head-on" collision but rather a broadside crash.
From the Daily News article previously cited:
It was unclear if the doomed couple’s cabbie braked for the stop sign at the intersection. The BMW driver had no stop sign on Kent Ave., a main thoroughfare.
It will be quite a deal if it turns out that there was no fault of the BMW driver.
Posted by: Wigmore | March 04, 2013 at 12:01 PM
Wigmore-You dont know what youre talking about he the bmw driver was traveling at 70 mph thats no fault for you speeding like a maniac.

Posted by: jancsibacsi | March 04, 2013 at 12:33 PM
fact that he ran from the scene automatically makes it the BMW drivers fault, and can we all just mourn this tragedy and leave the bashing for a molesting post
Posted by: different dave | March 04, 2013 at 12:38 PM
Leaving the scene is completely independent from the question of who is at fault in an accident.
Jancsi, if I am driving on 15th Avenue and you blow the stop sign at 47th Street so I hit you broadside, do you think it's my fault?
Posted by: Wigmore | March 04, 2013 at 12:52 PM
Wigmore- I would say both are at fault the bmw for speeding and the rest you know.
Posted by: jancsibacsi | March 04, 2013 at 01:14 PM
Jancsi,
Do not be ashamed that you fucked your mother for many years. It is quite normal. You Americans are too uptight.

To WCS
Think of the following before to rush to judgment that hatzalah had to be called.
The lady was with her first pregnacy.
She didn't feel the baby.
The doctor said come in for a check up.
It was a weekend and the Dr's office was closed.
She wanted to feel safe till Monday morning so she calls a cab to the hospital.
Even if hatzalah would have been there with his siren blasting a meshugena spanish driver would drive crazy thinking he can drag race thru the streets.
She had no need to call Hatzalah.

Reports indicate that the driver was a Hispanic, non-Jewish man from the Bronx who has a lengthy criminal record including prison time.
Posted by: Anti-kike | March 04, 2013 at 07:09 PM
Correction. According to the New York Times, Julio Acevedo iwas the driver and he is from Brooklyn. The BMW is registered to Takia Walker, non-Jew, of the Bronx. She, like Acevedo, has a criminal record. She was just found guilty of insurance fraud.
Posted by: Anti-kike | March 04, 2013 at 07:15 PM
So very sad for the friends and family of the young couple and their baby. Condolences to all who knew them. We need to make sure that we buckle up when we are in cabs or limos. The drivers of both cars walked away from the accident. Although it might not have helped in this case since the engine turned into a projectile and landed in the car where the Mother was sitting. Such a sad story, so young.
Posted by: Pearl of Wisdom | March 04, 2013 at 07:30 PM
It is a tremendous tragedy and for the family and the community. I wish them well.
I also think that we should remember other victims of heartless New York drivers. For example, innocent 7 year old Gavin Cato who was run down in a criminal hit-and-run without any consideration for his personhood.

"The doctor said come in for a check up.

And where did you get this information from?
I was an OB/GYN before changing specialties. If the baby is not moving, and you call your OB/GYN, he or she will tell you to go to the hospital right away.

WSC,
I have a friend who recently called her doctor, explaining that she couldn't feel her baby moving. The doctor told her to come right in and her husband drove her to the hospital. There was no ambulance suggested or used.
In this case, they likely don't have a car and took a car service instead. I think that you need to concede that even though you used to be an OB/GYN, you may not be correct in this case. It's very likely that her doctor told her to come in quickly but did not suggest Hatzala. Let's not attribute blame and make judgments against these people without any shred of evidence to support such accusations.
Let's just feel really bad for them and their loved ones.
Posted by: disillusioned | March 04, 2013 at 08:41 PM
R. Wisler. I think that Gavin Cato will be remembered for a very long time. His death set off the infamous Crown Heights Riots. I seriously doubt that the Hasidim in Williamsburg will react the same way as many blacks did in Crown Heights and riot against the Hispanics in Williamsburg. Maybe they will. Only time will tell.
Posted by: Anti-kike | March 04, 2013 at 09:07 PM
Okay, I just can't resist. R. Wisler, are you brining up Gavin Cato just as an example of another well publicized case of "vehicular murder" or because of who was in the car that hit Gavin? After all, there has been numerous similar deaths since Gavin. What is particularly special about his death to you? Especially in light of how the rest of that story unfolded.
Posted by: Anti-kike | March 04, 2013 at 09:21 PM
This is just too sad.
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | March 04, 2013 at 09:27 PM
Jansci,
Maybe you are correct. The "fruma" that you so despise and demonize are horrible people, the source of much of the world's ills. Then, why if it o.k.for you to benefit from Hatzalah, which is run by the "fruma", and gets lot of it's financial support fromthe very people you despise and denigrate
Because you are a hypocrite.
In fact, all the other regulars on this site ought to refrain from calling Hatzalah, if they had any principles.
Posted by: EMT | March 04, 2013 at 09:47 PM
Disillusioned, ok, I agree with you. She was NOT in labor, as originally reported, so an ambulance with sirens wasn't needed.
There was a problem with the pregnancy that required a trip to the hospital that night.
The earlier post by 'put a square' at 5:44 lied about the circumstances of the trip to the hospital.
It is indeed unfortunate to have to rely on livery cabs in that neighborhood. They are notoriously bad and aggressive drivers, and coupled with the scum who was driving the BMW, made for a terrible tragedy.

EMT-Those that work there are decent working people i never said i despise all of the hassidim there are many decent ones by the way my grandparents were hassidim in europe i i hate hypocrites the ones who behave not like a hassid the ones who bring chillel hashem the molesters abusers didnt you read what i wrote here in the past thati was abused molested by my rebbis and the molester was our shohet and moel those i hate with a passion not the good ones.
