Around 1,000 members of Brooklyn’s strictly Orthodox community turned out this week for the funerals of Nachman and Raizy Glauber and their newborn child, who were killed in a car crash last weekend.
The newlywed couple, both aged 21, had been travelling to hospital for a check-up on Mrs Glauber when their taxi collided with another car.
Their baby boy initially survived the accident and was delivered by Caesarean weighing just 4lb, but died shortly afterwards of extreme prematurity, the city medical examiner’s office said.
According to reports, a family member said that the couple had sought urgent medical attention after Mrs Glauber, who was 24 weeks’ pregnant, said she could no longer feel her baby.
