Singer Sasson Shaulov Indicted for Running Red Light and Causing Collision in Tel Aviv

Singer Sasson Shaulov was indicted on July 3, 2026, following a traffic accident in Tel Aviv. According to the indictment, at approximately 1:58 a.m., Shaulov drove north on Herzl Street and entered the intersection with Jaffa Road against a red light. At the same time, another vehicle was crossing the intersection on a green light from west to east. Shaulov's vehicle blocked the other car's path, resulting in a collision.

The accident caused injuries to the other driver and a passenger, both of whom required medical treatment. Both vehicles sustained damage. The traffic light system at the intersection was functioning properly at the time. The indictment accuses Shaulov of reckless driving, failing to pay adequate attention to the road, and entering the intersection despite the red light.

Shaulov faces three traffic-related charges: driving through a red light, reckless driving, and behavior causing damage. The incident has drawn media attention, highlighting the legal consequences for the singer following the crash in central Tel Aviv.
