Seven-Year-Old Boy Critically Injured After Bus Strikes Him in Bnei Brak

A seven-year-old boy was seriously injured on Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a bus while riding an electric scooter on Yigal Allon Street in Bnei Brak. Emergency medical teams provided initial treatment at the scene and evacuated him to the hospital in moderate condition. Senior medic Emanuel Adler of Hatzala reported finding the boy with severe, multi-system injuries after the collision. He was stabilized and transported by an intensive care unit to the trauma room at Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva. United Hatzalah medics Yaakov Malka, Nahorai Calfoun, and Avishai Zaltzman, who arrived first, stated that the boy suffered multi-system injuries and was in serious condition upon evacuation. The family is requesting public prayers for the recovery of the child, Aharon Yehuda Leib ben Miriam Tzarla, who was rushed to surgery to save his life.

In a separate incident earlier the same day in Bnei Brak, two sisters, aged seven and two, were injured in an accident on Rabbi Shach Street. Emergency services treated them at the scene for head and limb injuries sustained in a collision involving a private vehicle. The younger child was evacuated to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv in moderate condition, while her older sister was in mild condition.
