Pedestrian in His 40s Dies in Car Accident at Hadera Junction

A pedestrian approximately 40 years old was killed overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday after being struck by a vehicle at the Hadera junction. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and medics arrived at the scene and performed resuscitation efforts but ultimately declared the man dead. Paramedic Alexander Goldenberg and medic Elimelech Michalovitz described the scene as very difficult, noting the man was unconscious with multiple severe injuries upon their arrival.

This incident follows other recent serious road accidents in the Sharon region. Two days earlier, an 18-year-old man died and another 18-year-old was seriously injured when a private car collided with a bus near Nir Eliyahu on Road 5504. MDA teams confirmed the death at the scene and transported the injured youth to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba. The bus driver sustained minor injuries.

Additionally, on Saturday, a woman in her 50s was seriously injured after her vehicle overturned on the Halacha Bridge on the Ayalon Highway. Emergency responders extricated her from the vehicle, provided medical treatment on site, and evacuated her to Ichilov Hospital.
