Two strictly Orthodox men – aged 19 and 20 – are said to be in critical condition after a car crash in Hungary on Wednesday night.

The Yeshiva students, named as Yehuda Roittenbarg and Binyamin Cohen, from Stamford Hill, north London, were taken to hospital after the crash where they were placed in induced comas.

Members of their families have been contacted and have travelled to the hospital, in the city of Mishkolc.

A source close to the families said the men were in a “stable condition but still considered critical by doctors”. On Friday, Mr Roittenbarg and Mr Cohen were said to still be in intensive care, but showing signs of improvement.
