Two Trucks Collide on Highway 6, One Person Critically Injured

The collision occurred on the southbound lanes of the highway, south of the Sorek Interchange. The impact left one of the drivers trapped inside the completely crushed cabin of his truck, suffering from multi-system trauma.

Emergency services, including Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and firefighting teams, responded to the scene after receiving a report at approximately 10:07 AM. Firefighters performed complex rescue operations to extricate the trapped driver, while paramedics provided initial medical treatment. Rafi Segev, a deputy district manager and paramedic with MDA, arrived quickly and climbed onto the front of the truck to begin treating the driver during the rescue.

Following his extrication, the driver was transferred to an MDA helicopter, which landed at the collision site. He was airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv in serious condition. Police are currently investigating the circumstances of the collision, which caused significant disruptions on the major highway.
