A driver suspected of transporting unauthorized Palestinian residents fled from police on Tuesday, ultimately causing a traffic accident in Motza. The incident began when an off-duty police officer noticed the vehicle and signaled the driver to stop. The driver ignored the order and sped away, endangering other road users. He drove onto a traffic circle and collided with several vehicles before fleeing the scene on foot. Two individuals were evacuated to the hospital with minor injuries. Police from the Harel station in the Jerusalem district launched an investigation, which led to the apprehension of the 23-year-old suspect, a resident of northern Israel, on Wednesday. The unauthorized residents he was allegedly transporting were arrested near the accident site. The court extended the detention of the unauthorized residents until Sunday, and the driver is scheduled for a court hearing on Thursday regarding the extension of his own detention.
