A young boy who returned to a crosswalk in Bnei Brak on Tuesday morning to retrieve a fallen kippa was run over by a passing vehicle and emerged unharmed, according to reports and security camera footage. The new detail—that the child had turned back for his kippa—was not included in earlier reports.
The Zioneer first reported at 07:32 Jerusalem that a girl had been miraculously unharmed after a car passed over her at a crosswalk in Bnei Brak. An update at the same time corrected the child's gender to a boy, specified he was retrieving his kippah, and described the incident as a miracle, with minor bruises. At 10:10 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the boy had sustained only minor bruises. The latest reports, at 10:54 Jerusalem, indicate that the boy sustained no injuries at all.
Bnei Brak has seen several recent pedestrian accidents involving children, as The Zioneer has reported on multiple occasions, including a serious injury to an 11-year-old on July 12 and moderate injuries in July on several streets. The incident this morning, which drew widespread attention due to the child's survival, has been captured on security cameras.
It remains unclear whether the child was taken for medical evaluation; the reports indicate he walked away from the scene.
