Incredibly moving scenes on the streets of Brooklyn as hundreds of Hasidic Jews attend funeral of expectant parents who died in horrific crash on way

The emotional funerals of an young Orthodox Jewish couple who both died in a horrific hit-and-run car crash, but were survived by their premature baby son, took place on Sunday afternoon.

Jewish law calls for burial of the dead as soon as possible, and hours after their deaths, the Glaubers were mourned at an emotional funeral on Sunday

The driver of a BMW slammed into the car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.
The seven-months pregnant woman was feeling ill so headed to hospital with her husband early Sunday when the car they were riding in was hit, killing them both.
Their baby boy was delivered by emergency caesarean and survived, yet remains in a serious condition in hospital.

The funerals took place in Brooklyn, which is home to the largest community of ultra-orthodox Jews outside Israel, more than 250,000.

The community has strict rules governing clothing, social customs and interaction with the outside world. Men wear dark clothing that includes a long coat and a fedora-type hat and often have long beards and ear locks.
