Two strictly Orthodox British men, who were in “critical” condition after a car crash in Hungary, were brought out of their induced comas this morning.
The yeshiva students, Yehuda Roittenbarg and Binyamin Cohen, from Stamford Hill, north London, have been in hospital in the city of Miskolc since the crash last Wednesday.
A source close to their families said: “They are both up and the situation has started to improve. There is still some way to go but at least they are responding positively”.
The men, aged 19 and 20, were understood to have travelled to Hungary to pray at the tomb of Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner of Kerestir.
