Miracle on the Way Home from Meron

There was a serious collision on the way home from Meron last night when a truck collided with a bus full of men and children travelling from Meron to Bnei Brak. There was screaming and panic immediately following the collision- which turned to joy when the full extent of the miracle became obvious. Except for 2 adults and a child who were treated on scene for cuts from flying glass- no one was injured. The truck driver joined the thankful dancing that ensued.
