A 30-year-old man was seriously injured Monday afternoon when his vehicle overturned on Route 89 near the Hamat Gader junction in the northern Jordan Valley. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics evacuated him to Tzafon Medical Center (Poriya) with chest and abdominal injuries, as reported by N12. The incident was first reported just after 11:00 Jerusalem on Monday.
The Zioneer first reported the accident shortly after 11:01 Jerusalem, stating that a vehicle had overturned into a ditch with a person trapped inside, and that emergency services were en route. Within minutes, an updated bulletin at 11:01 Jerusalem detailed that the victim, a 30-year-old man, had been evacuated by helicopter to Poriya Hospital in serious condition, with paramedics from MDA and an IDF medical team treating him at the scene. At around 12:16 Jerusalem, the bulletin was further refined, specifying that the victim had suffered chest and abdominal injuries.
The area near the Hamat Gader junction has seen several vehicle rollover incidents in recent weeks, though there is no indication of a broader pattern.

More seriously, a 30-year-old was critically wounded in a two-vehicle crash near the Lahav Reserve on June 11, and a 57-year-old man was seriously injured in a violent incident on Route 85 on June 14.
No further details have been released regarding the cause of the rollover or the victim's current condition beyond the initial evacuation update.
