Teenager Dies After Being Hit by Vehicle on Coastal Highway

A 13-year-old boy tragically died after being struck by a passing vehicle on the Acre-Haifa highway near Kiryat Bialik late Wednesday night. Emergency medical teams responded to the scene shortly before midnight and found the boy lying on the road, unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, suffering from severe, multi-system trauma.

Paramedics and EMTs immediately began extensive resuscitation efforts, including administering electric shocks with a defibrillator and providing ventilation. The boy was transported by a mobile intensive care unit to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, with resuscitation efforts continuing en route. Despite the medical teams' best efforts, doctors at the hospital were forced to declare him dead.

Traffic accident investigators from the police arrived at the scene and have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the fatal collision.
