The 4-year-old Brooklyn boy who survived a horrific crash that killed his mother and sisters continues to fight for his life, as officials revealed Wednesday that he had a kidney removed.
Philip Saada remains in critical condition at Maimonides Medical Center, officials told The Post after visiting the grieving family.
“It’s heartbreaking,” city Comptroller Brad Lander said as he left the Brooklyn home. “He’s still in critical condition. He lost one kidney but they are hopeful about his prognosis.”
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams also stopped by to express her condolences. “My heart breaks for this family,” Adams said. “I will continue to pray for this family.”
Philip was the only member of his family to survive the heartbreaking Saturday afternoon crash on Ocean Parkway.
He was crossing the street with his mother, 32-year-old Natasha Saada, and his sisters, Diana, 8, and Debra, 5, when they were struck by a speeding car, police said.
