They provided initial medical assistance before he was taken to the hospital, where his condition was described as serious.

Another medic, Yaanki Grunwald of Hatzala, stated, "When I arrived at the scene, I saw an electric bicycle rider, a 28-year-old man, disoriented with a severe head injury after he slipped during the ride."
