A 9-year-old girl was critically injured Monday afternoon when a minibus struck her on Rehov Shalom Shabazi in Rosh HaAyin. Magen David Adom paramedics performed life-saving procedures and evacuated her to Beilinson Hospital with multisystem trauma, the medical service reported.
Magen David Adom paramedics were called to Rehov Shalom Shabazi in Rosh HaAyin shortly before 16:00 Monday afternoon after a minibus struck a pedestrian. The victim, a 9-year-old girl, was found unconscious and in cardiac arrest; crews performed advanced life-saving measures at the scene and evacuated her to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva with multisystem trauma. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the accident.
As The Zioneer first reported at 16:47 Monday, the initial bulletin cited a child critically injured in a pedestrian accident on the same street. MDA confirmed the victim's age and the involvement of a minibus in the subsequent update. The paramedic account of a cardiac arrest and field resuscitation has remained consistent across both reports.
The Zioneer reported earlier on Monday that Rosh HaAyin has seen a series of traffic incidents this year, though no direct link has been established to this case. Local authorities have not yet commented on road safety enforcement in the area of the accident.
The girl's condition remains critical, and no statement from the hospital has been issued regarding her prognosis. The police investigation is at an early stage.
