Kan News Director Killed in Serious Bicycle Accident
Kan News is mourning the death of Itzik Barashi, a respected director in the news division, who was killed in a severe bicycle accident on Highway 44 near the Nesharim interchange on Thursday morning. Barashi, who joined the public broadcasting corporation shortly after its establishment in 2018, was considered one of its most professional and talented directors, serving with dedication through both routine times and wartime. Colleagues described him as a devoted professional who significantly contributed to the quality of broadcasts.
The fatal accident occurred early Thursday morning. The precise circumstances of the crash are under investigation. Barashi is survived by his wife, Shirley, and three children: Keran, Roi, and Itai. Kan News issued a formal statement expressing deep shock and sorrow over the loss of their colleague.
The corporation extended condolences to Barashi's family, friends, and colleagues. Details regarding the funeral will be announced later. The report also noted that fatal bicycle accidents pose a significant danger on Israeli roads, referencing a recent incident where a 9-year-old boy was critically injured in a bicycle accident in Tzur Hadassah.
