NEW YORK (CNN) -- Charges will not be filed against a 76-year-old man who lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a building where a Hanukkah celebration was under way, police in Long Island, New York, said Friday.
Rescue workers respond after a car struck a storefront where a Hannukah celebration was taking place Thursday. "There's no criminality, it was just an accident," said Nassau County Police Officer Joan Eames, adding that the cause of the crash remained under investigation.
Heshey Jacob, president of the Hatzolah Volunteer Emergency Medical Service, said the vehicle went through a tent in the front of the building where children were playing, and then on to the back of the store.
Fourteen people were hospitalized -- some with severe injuries -- Thursday afternoon after Theodore Saretsky plowed into a Woodmere, New York, storefront where Chabad of the Five Towns was holding its Hanukkah Wonderland event, police said. About 150 people were at the celebration.
