An 81-year-old man sustained critical injuries and a 25-year-old man suffered moderate injuries in a car accident that occurred Thursday on Aryeh Shenkar Street in Haifa. The collision involved two private vehicles crashing head-on, with one vehicle overturning onto its side. Both injured individuals were transported to Rambam Hospital. The 81-year-old sustained a head injury, while the younger man had multiple system trauma. Both were fully conscious during treatment. Firefighters from the Kiryat branch, who were dispatched to the scene, identified a person trapped in the overturned vehicle. The crews extricated the trapped individual through the windshield and simultaneously disconnected the vehicles' power sources to prevent ignition. Both cars sustained significant damage. "This was a car accident between two vehicles, one of which overturned onto its side," said Tomer Danino, an emergency medical technician with Magen David Adom. "The two injured were fully conscious and suffered injuries to their bodies. We provided them with medical treatment and evacuated them in Magen David Adom intensive care units to the hospital, with their conditions serious and moderate."
