Two Seriously Injured in Bus-Truck Collision in Northern Israel

Two men, the drivers of a bus and a truck, were seriously injured on Wednesday in a collision between their vehicles on Highway 91 in the Upper Galilee, near the Mahanaim Junction. Magen David Adom (MDA) teams provided initial medical treatment to the drivers and several bus passengers who sustained minor injuries. Separately, a 29-year-old man died overnight in a self-inflicted car accident in southern Tel Aviv. MDA teams responded to a report of a vehicle that had veered off the road on Ben Tzvi Street. Upon arrival, they found the man trapped in his car with severe, multi-system injuries. He was evacuated to Wolfson Hospital in Holon while resuscitation efforts were underway, but doctors were forced to declare him dead. Jaffa police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the Tel Aviv accident and are collecting evidence at the scene. Paramedic Ariel Wasserstein and medic Gal Selahov described the scene, stating, "When we arrived, we were led to the driver who was trapped in the vehicle. He was unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, and suffered severe multi-system trauma. We immediately began advanced resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions, ventilation, and medication, and evacuated him in an MDA intensive care unit to the hospital while continuing resuscitation, his condition critical."
