A six-year-old boy died on Sunday, October 18, after being struck by a bus while riding his scooter on Avnei Nezer Street in Modin Illit. Emergency medical services, MDA (Magen David Adom), pronounced the child dead at the scene. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, which was reported to MDA dispatch at 5:10 PM. Paramedics Nati Rotter and Israel Menachem Itzhaki described finding the boy unconscious with no pulse or breathing, and stated that resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful due to critical injuries.
This is the second fatal bus accident in Israel in recent days. On October 14, 61-year-old bus driver Avshalom Revivo from Ashdod was killed in the Upper Galilee when his bus collided with a truck near the Mahanayim airstrip. Revivo was transporting approximately 30 Air Force soldiers from Tel Nof airbase to the northern border area. He swerved sharply to avoid a head-on collision with a truck in the oncoming lane, sacrificing his own life to save the passengers. The impact was concentrated in the driver's cabin, resulting in 19 soldiers sustaining injuries. Firefighters and rescue teams worked for an extended period to extract Revivo from the wreckage, but he was pronounced dead at the scene after resuscitation attempts failed.
