Man Falls From Bridge Onto Light Rail Tracks in Petah Tikva for Second Time in Two Days

Two alarming incidents occurred within 24 hours on Jabotinsky Road in Petah Tikva involving falls onto the light rail tracks. On Friday morning, a man in his 50s fell from a significant height onto the light rail tracks. Emergency medical teams from Magen David Adom provided urgent care and transported him to Beilinson Hospital. His condition is critical; he is unconscious and suffering from multiple severe injuries.

This incident follows a similar tragedy just the day before, when a woman fell from the same bridge onto the light rail tracks and was pronounced dead at the scene. The repeated nature of these accidents at the same location has raised concerns about safety measures on the bridge.

Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the circumstances of the falls or any ongoing investigations. The community remains on alert as emergency services continue to respond to these rare but serious events.
