An electric scooter rider was killed Wednesday morning on Road 44 (Derech HaShiv'a) in Azor, after being struck by a vehicle. Paramedics who arrived at the scene declared the rider, estimated to be in his 60s, dead. The incident follows a pattern of e-scooter fatalities on Israeli roads: The Zioneer reported earlier on Wednesday (at 02:55) a separate serious-injury hit involving an e-scooter in the same town. A previous fatal case in early June led to a reckless homicide indictment against a driver. Israeli road-safety data shows a rise in e-scooter-related casualties, particularly at junctions and on main arteries. Police said they are investigating the circumstances of this morning's crash.
