Two members of a volunteer ambulance corps died in a blazing accident early on Monday. The accident happened on the New York State Thruway in Rockland County around 1:45 a.m. between exits 15 and 14B near Suffern. 

According to the tradition, both victims were buried the same afternoon on Monday. 

The victims, twenty-seven-year-old Moshe Herzog and twenty-six-year-old David Schneebalg were both killed in a collision with a tractor-trailer. The first responders to the scene were their fellow volunteers from the Faist Ambulance Corps in Chestnut Ridge.

According to the state police, Herzog’s SUV hit the tractor-trailer while switching lanes near Exit 14B. Both the SUV and the tractor-trailer rolled into a ditched and caught on fire. While the SUV was burning, Herzog managed to call for help on the radio, calmly saying that he was trapped and that the vehicle is on fire. 

Herzog and Schneebalg died at the scene. They were returning to New York after spending the weekend out of the state. The truck driver, fifty-nine-year-old Luis Velazquez from Elizabeth, New Jersey was rescued and taken to the hospital. The police continue investigating the reasons for the accident.

Losing a loved one in an accident is a tragedy. Such accidents require detailed investigations, but no matter how the accident happened and whose fault it was, the family members of the victim have the right to file for a compensation claim.

  • Cellino Law was a great company to work with. From the beginning they came out and met with my uncle and myself and assured us that everything would be taken care of from beginning to end our lawyer state and constant contact with us to make sure that everything would go smoothly and it did. I would definitely recommend anybody to go to Cellino Law for whatever help they need. And specifically please ask for the lawyer that we had Mr. Alan Silverstein. He was amazing and his staff was always attentive. Please go with them for your next law needs.

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.
