A severe road accident occurred on Wednesday on Highway 91 near Machanaiyim in northern Israel, involving a bus and a private car. The collision resulted in one fatality, one person seriously injured, and 19 others sustaining light injuries.
Emergency services, including fire and rescue teams from the Galil Golan station, responded to the scene. Firefighters worked to extract a person trapped inside the bus, who was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel. A seriously injured individual was airlifted by helicopter for further medical treatment.
According to Rabbi Reshef Dror Bohnik, the incident commander, the crash was "a very serious road accident." He stated that firefighters worked on extricating the trapped individual from the bus, while MDA (Magen David Adom) teams pronounced him dead. Medical teams also treated the injured at the scene.
Gil Ad Ben Hamu, an MDA emergency medical technician, described the scene as "shocking," noting severe damage to the front of both vehicles. He reported that the bus driver was unconscious, without pulse or breathing, and despite resuscitation efforts during the complex extraction, his death was confirmed. Paramedics also treated the car driver, who was unconscious with severe leg injuries, and he was evacuated by MDA helicopter to the hospital. The 18 other passengers from the bus were transported by MDA ambulances to the hospital with minor injuries.
