A man, approximately 30 years old, was killed in a severe traffic accident in Beersheba on Saturday evening. His vehicle collided with a pole on Engineering Corps Street in the southern city. The driver became trapped inside the car, prompting firefighters and rescue teams to use specialized equipment for his extrication. The report of the accident reached the fire department's hotline at 8:29 PM. Firefighters from the Beersheba station responded to the scene and began complex rescue operations for the driver trapped in the single-vehicle collision. Simultaneously, Magen David Adom (MDA) teams arrived and conducted initial medical assessments. According to MDA, their emergency call center received a report at 8:28 PM about a car hitting a pole on Engineering Corps Street. EMTs Bat-El Ilayev and Aya Peretz described the scene as "very severe," stating that upon arrival, they found a man trapped in the car with no pulse or respiration. After being extricated, medical efforts were made, but his injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. ZAKA volunteers Omri Altouri and Hamuda Abu Yehia also described the incident as severe, noting the driver was extricated by firefighters and then transported by medical teams with resuscitation efforts, but he later died. Firefighters conducted thorough searches of the vehicle and its surroundings to ensure no other individuals were trapped. This fatal accident adds to a recent string of serious traffic collisions across Israel, including a fatal accident on Road 25 near Shavim where a bus driver died, and another in Jerusalem where a Czech diplomat was killed.
