A 20-year-old female motorcyclist sustained critical injuries in an accident on Route 44 near Eshtaol on Friday. Paramedics treated her at the scene for multi-system trauma before transporting her to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
"When we arrived, we saw the rider on the side of the road with body injuries after being hurt during a ride," said Zvika Chilikou, an MDA emergency medical technician. "We provided initial medical treatment and evacuated her by MDA intensive care ambulance, in serious condition."
Paramedic Nati Ben Shimon and EMT Mendi Gafner of 'Hatzala Team' added, "We saw a 20-year-old motorcyclist lying in a roadside ditch with multi-system trauma after she slipped while riding. Together with other MDA medics and paramedics, we provided initial medical assistance, including stabilization and bandaging, and she was evacuated by an MDA intensive care ambulance in serious condition to the trauma room at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem."
This incident marks the second motorcycle accident in the past 24 hours. Earlier, a motorcyclist was reported to have been critically injured on Route 471 near the Gath Rimon interchange. Responders performed resuscitation efforts but were ultimately forced to declare him dead at the scene. "It was a difficult scene," said senior MDA EMT Elhanan Ben Tzur and MDA motorcycle unit EMT Rafael Binyamin. "We were led to the unconscious motorcyclist, without breathing or pulse, after being injured during a ride. We immediately began advanced resuscitation efforts, but his injuries were significant, and we had no choice but to pronounce him dead."
