An approximately 70-year-old pedestrian was killed Sunday morning in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem after being struck by a truck. Police are searching the area for the truck driver, who reportedly fled the scene after the collision. Paramedics responding to Ramban Street found the woman lying on the road, unconscious and with multiple systemic injuries. Despite immediate resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions and artificial respiration, medical personnel were forced to declare her dead at the scene due to the severity of her injuries. Jerusalem District Police officers also arrived and began investigating the circumstances of the incident. Simultaneously, officers conducted extensive searches for the driver, who is believed to have fled. The incident follows a similar fatal accident last Wednesday, where 90-year-old Suzanna Weizenberg was killed by a garbage truck near Kibbutz Barur Hayil in southern Israel. Police are investigating that incident, which involved a truck belonging to a contractor company providing services to the local council.
