An approximately 70-year-old woman died Sunday morning after being struck by a truck in Jerusalem's Rehavia neighborhood. Police suspect the driver fled the scene and have launched an extensive search for the vehicle. The incident occurred at the intersection of Reish Lakish and Ramban streets.
Magen David Adom received a report of the accident at 10:06 AM. Emergency medical teams arriving at the scene found the pedestrian unconscious on the road, with no pulse or respiration, and suffering from severe, multi-system trauma. Resuscitation efforts were performed, but paramedics ultimately declared her dead at the scene.
"This is a difficult incident," said MDA paramedics Haki Hershkov and Shlomo Margalit. "Bystanders told us she was hit by a truck. We provided medical treatment, including resuscitation efforts, but sadly we had to pronounce her dead at the scene."
Traffic accident investigators from the Jerusalem district were dispatched to examine the circumstances of the collision, while police continued their efforts to locate the driver.
