Approximately five months after a fatal minibus accident near the Sorek interchange, an indictment has been filed against the driver, identified as Ashkir. The prosecution alleges that Ashkir failed to notice a signaling truck ahead of him and was driving without mandatory insurance when the crash occurred. The indictment states that Ashkir was driving behind the truck, but despite a clear field of vision and the truck's signal, he did not see the truck and its trailer. He also failed to maintain a safe distance, resulting in a powerful collision with the trailer.
As a direct consequence of the collision, two minors in the minibus sustained critical injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. Several other minors were also injured in the accident, with varying degrees of severity. The indictment charges Ashkir with causing death by negligence, negligent driving that resulted in serious injury and property damage, and driving without mandatory insurance.
The Central District Prosecutor's Office has requested that the court revoke Ashkir's driver's license until the conclusion of legal proceedings against him.
