The taxi driver came to comfort: "I wish I could have died instead of the young couple"

The taxi driver who drove the couple Nachman and Raizy Glauber z"l to the hospital, and was involved in the accident in Williamsburg which cost them their lives, arrived at the end of the week to comfort the family.

The driver talked to the family and referred to the tragedy: "I am sad and sorry. I wish I could have dies instead of the young couple. I also have a pregnant wife and three children."

The family encouraged him: "Go on with your life, it was the will of G-d, you are not to blame for what happened."

Last Thursday Julio Acevedo, the BMW driver, was accused at the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, as held responsible for the deaths of the Glauber couple for leaving them at the criminal scene of the accident and other offenses.

It was also discovered that in the coming days a Sefer Torah will start to be written in memory of the late couple. VIN news website reports that the initiative was born after the death of their infant son of the couple at the hospital in Manhattan. "Once he died - we knew we had to leave behind a legacy", said Avraham Yosef Friedman, Nachman Glauber's uncle.

Writing of the Sefer Torah, according to Friedman, was approved by family members, "There are so many people who want to be part of this important project."

Family friend, Yisrael Rosenberg, said: "This is not a personal tragedy, a family tragedy; this is a tragedy for all of us."

Friends of the family set up a website which will raise funds.
