01 · THE DISPATCH

A 60-year-old electric scooter rider sustained serious injuries early Wednesday after being struck by a vehicle in the local council of Azor, south of Tel Aviv. N12 reports that Magen David Adom paramedics treated the man for multi-system trauma at the scene before evacuating him to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. No additional details on the circumstances of the accident have been released.

This is the latest in a series of e-scooter road accidents we have tracked through the summer. As The Zioneer reported two hours earlier, another rider aged about 60 was seriously injured in a separate incident at an unspecified location—the two reports are distinct. A broader pattern of e-scooter collisions has been documented throughout June, including a serious injury on the Ayalon Highway (June 28) and moderate injuries in Ramat Gan, Kiryat Motzkin, and Beit Dagan. The circumstances and exact cause of tonight's crash remain under investigation.
