A man in his 40s was critically injured in a road accident involving two trucks on Highway 6, south of the Sorek interchange. Emergency medical services, including MDA paramedics and a helicopter, responded to the scene. The injured man sustained multi-system trauma and was airlifted to Ichilov Hospital.

Rafi Segev, deputy director of the Sharon Region and an MDA paramedic, described the scene, stating he was on his way home from a helicopter paramedic shift when the report came in. He was only a few hundred meters away and arrived quickly. The truck driver was trapped inside the completely crushed cabin of his vehicle. Segev climbed onto the front of the truck to begin medical treatment while simultaneously alerting MDA dispatch and summoning their helicopter. He, along with other MDA teams, provided medical care concurrently with complex rescue operations by firefighters. Following the rescue, the man was transferred to the MDA helicopter, which landed at the scene, and was evacuated to Ichilov Hospital in serious condition.
