A 60-year-old pedestrian was killed after being struck by a bus in Nesher on Wednesday afternoon. MDA medics who responded to the scene pronounced the man dead; no further details on his identity have been released. Police have opened an investigation into the accident.
As The Zioneer reported at 07:45 Wednesday, a pedestrian about 60 years old was critically injured after being hit by a bus at an earlier location in Nesher and evacuated to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. It is unclear whether the two incidents are connected; the earlier victim's condition has not been updated.
The fatality underscores a spate of serious pedestrian-vehicle collisions in northern and central Israel this month. On June 14, a 52-year-old man was killed by a truck in Arraba in the Galilee; on June 23, a 68-year-old was moderately injured near Harish. The circumstances of each collision remain under police investigation.
