A shocking tragedy: Four yeshiva students, all in their 20s, were killed early this morning (Sunday, New York time) in a fatal accident in New Jersey.

The horrific accident occurred around 12:30 a.m. on the New Jersey Turnpike, near the Delaware Memorial Bridge, when a drunk driver crashed into a group of guys who were on a 'time-out' trip.

Three of the boys - Yaakov Kilberg, Aharon Nathan Lebovitz and the late Shlomo Abba Cohen - are residents of Lakewood, and Haim Simcha Grossman is a resident of South Fallsburg, whose grandparents live in Lakewood.
