A Haredi family miraculously escaped a vehicle fire early Friday morning while returning from a wedding. The incident occurred around 3:00 AM on the road to Bnei Brak, after the family had attended a wedding in Modi'in Illit. The driver noticed flames through the rearview mirror and quickly pulled over to the side of the road. The family managed to exit the car just moments before it was completely engulfed in flames. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the family lost their vehicle and valuable possessions. Among the items destroyed were a shtreimel (a traditional Haredi fur hat), a baby stroller, jewelry, gold rings, a kosher phone, and other personal belongings. Footage from the scene shows the distorted remains of the gold rings and the kosher phone. This incident follows a recent string of fires in the central region, including a fire in Bnei Brak just days prior that caused a roof collapse. The family expressed gratitude for their survival, emphasizing that their safety was the most important outcome despite the significant material loss.
