Six Injured in Multi-Vehicle Crash Near Sea of Galilee, Two Critically

Six people were injured Monday morning in a three-vehicle collision on Highway 92 near the Sea of Galilee. Among the injured were two young men around 20 years old in critical condition, a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy in moderate condition, and two others lightly injured. Magen David Adom paramedics arrived near the Ramat Shvadar settlement in southern Golan Heights, providing initial treatment. The two critically injured young men were airlifted by helicopter to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, while the others were taken by ambulance to Poriya Hospital in Tiberias.

Paramedics Asaf Perlman and Or Al Biton described the scene as chaotic, with one vehicle in the middle of the road and another in a roadside ditch. The unconscious 20-year-old female suffered head and limb injuries and required intubation and ventilation. The conscious young man had severe abdominal trauma. The remaining patients were stable and fully conscious upon evacuation.

In related incidents, a one-year-old infant was seriously injured in a pedestrian-vehicle accident in Tiberias on Sunday evening and was hospitalized at Poriya Hospital with head and limb injuries. Additionally, a 31-year-old man was critically hurt in a separate crash near the Moshe Dayan interchange in the Ayalon highways area, and was taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon with lower body trauma. Police have launched investigations into the circumstances of these accidents.
