An approximately 70-year-old pedestrian was killed Sunday in a hit-and-run accident on Rehov Rashba in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem, apparently struck by a truck. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and EMTs performed resuscitation efforts but were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene. According to MDA teams, the woman was found unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, suffering from severe, multi-system trauma. Jerusalem District traffic accident investigators have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, while police are conducting extensive searches for the driver, suspected of fleeing the scene. MDA emergency medical responders Haki Har Kesef and Shlomo Margalit stated, "This is a severe incident. The pedestrian lay on the road unconscious, without a pulse or breathing. Bystanders told us she was hit by a truck. We provided medical treatment, including resuscitation efforts, after which we unfortunately had to pronounce her dead at the scene."
