A man, 35, suffered serious multi-system trauma when a truck crashed on Highway 6, according to Magen David Adom (MDA). MDA medics treated him at the scene and evacuated him to Kaplan Hospital.
A 35-year-old man was seriously injured with multi-system trauma when a truck crashed on Highway 6 on Sunday morning. Magen David Adom (MDA) medics treated him at the scene and evacuated him to Kaplan Hospital. The incident follows the unfolding of a truck accident on the same highway earlier that morning, which had already been tracked by The Zioneer in three prior dispatches.
By 07:28 Jerusalem on Sunday, initial reports described a serious accident on Highway 6 southbound near the Shorq interchange, with emergency services en route. Minutes later, fire and rescue crews reported that a truck had overturned between the Nesharim and Shorq interchanges, trapping the driver. Firefighters worked to extricate him using specialized cutting gear, and by 07:28 Jerusalem, the driver had been successfully freed and transferred to medical personnel at the scene, according to the Israel Fire and Rescue Services. The current bulletin identifies a second casualty—a 35-year-old man—who was evacuated separately to Kaplan Hospital with serious multi-system trauma, indicating that the crash involved at least two victims.
This event is part of a broader pattern of highway accidents across Israel reported by The Zioneer in recent weeks. On June 11, a 26-year-old man was moderately injured in a truck-car collision near the Nesharim Interchange. On June 19, two separate truck crashes in the Gilboa area left three wounded, one critically. Additionally, a car rollover on Highway 6 near the Nitzanei Oz Interchange on June 11 resulted in five injuries. These reports, sourced from MDA and emergency services, underscore recurring serious accidents on major intercity routes.
Details on the cause of the current crash and the relationship between the two casualties remain unconfirmed by official sources as of this dispatch. It is also unclear whether the trapped driver extricated earlier and the 35-year-old man evacuated to Kaplan Hospital were involved in the same or separate incidents.
