A 55-year-old man was seriously injured and two others in their 50s sustained light wounds in a three-vehicle collision on Route 40 near the Yarkon Interchange on Thursday afternoon. The United Hatzalah rescue agency evacuated all casualties to hospitals; the seriously injured man was treated at the scene.
A three-vehicle collision occurred Thursday afternoon on Route 40 near the Yarkon Interchange, leaving a 55-year-old man in serious condition and two others in their 50s lightly injured. United Hatzalah medics provided on-scene care and evacuated the casualties — the seriously injured man with traumatic injuries and the two lightly wounded victims — to nearby hospitals.
The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday of a separate two-vehicle rollover on the same highway stretch near the Yarkon Interchange around 12:27 PM, in which a 55-year-old man was seriously injured with a head injury and evacuated to Beilinson Hospital. The current bulletin reflects an updated response to that same incident, as rescue crews now report involvement of three vehicles rather than two, and that two additional lightly injured individuals in their 50s were identified and treated. The number of vehicles and casualty count have been clarified as more details emerged from the scene.
