Shaked Biton, a star from the popular Israeli reality show "Married at First Sight," shared a harrowing experience on his Instagram account Sunday, detailing a dangerous hit-and-run incident he endured while driving to Tel Aviv. Biton described how two Toyota Corollas were speeding excessively on Highway 4 when one of them violently struck his vehicle, nearly causing him to overturn. He estimated the cars were traveling at least 180 kph (112 mph) and fled the scene immediately after the collision.
Undeterred, Biton pursued the fleeing vehicles until they stopped. Upon confronting the individuals involved, he encountered six people, one of whom he suspected was concealing an object under his shirt and approached him menacingly. To de-escalate the situation and prevent physical violence until police arrived, Biton presented himself as a security forces member. He criticized the Israeli police response, stating they took a full hour to arrive.
After the police investigated, it was also discovered that the offending vehicle lacked valid insurance. Biton emphasized that his distress stemmed not from the financial damage to his car but from a profound sense of insecurity and lawlessness on the roads. He stated that the incident highlighted his priorities for the upcoming elections, focusing on the right to safe travel and the assurance of protection for law-abiding citizens.
Biton gained public recognition during the fourth season of "Married at First Sight," where he was paired with Mai Moshe. Their strong chemistry made them a notable couple on the show, and they remained together for a significant period after filming concluded before eventually separating. Since his television appearance, Biton has maintained a strong social media presence, engaged in entrepreneurship and management, and frequently uses his platform to raise awareness about social and consumer issues.
