Shaked Biton, a participant on the Israeli reality show "Love After First Sight," recounted a harrowing experience on Highway 4 where he was nearly killed in a hit-and-run incident. Biton shared on Instagram that two speeding Toyota Corollas, allegedly traveling at speeds of at least 180 kph, struck his vehicle. He managed to avoid a potentially fatal collision, but the drivers fled the scene.
Biton pursued the vehicles until they stopped. Upon exiting their car, six individuals approached him aggressively, one appearing to conceal an object under his shirt. Fearing for his safety, Biton told them he was a police officer and ordered them back into their car, a ruse they apparently believed. He then attempted to contact the police, who he stated took nearly an hour to arrive, during which time the suspects remained nearby, issuing threats.
When the police finally arrived, Biton learned that the vehicle that hit him had no insurance. He expressed frustration with the situation, particularly the perceived lack of law enforcement response and the subsequent burden of dealing with the damage and costs. Biton stated that he is sharing his story to highlight what he sees as a failure of governance and a critical issue for the upcoming elections, emphasizing the public's right to safety on the roads.
