Singer Sasson Shaulov has been summoned for questioning early next week in connection with a traffic accident in Tel Aviv overnight, with investigators examining suspicion he ran a red light. The driver of the other vehicle and all occupants of both cars were also summoned.
Singer Sasson Shaulov and the driver of the other vehicle, along with all occupants of both cars, have been summoned for questioning early this week in connection with the traffic accident that occurred overnight in Tel Aviv. Investigators will examine, among other things, the suspicion that Shaulov ran a red light. The summons follows reports earlier Friday that Shaulov was involved in the accident on Herzl Street and stated he was "healthy, whole, and feeling well" and uninjured.
As The Zioneer reported throughout Friday, the story evolved from initial unconfirmed reports of a famous singer involved in a luxury-car accident with several lightly injured (published at 08:59 Jerusalem), to identification of Shaulov as the involved party, then confirmation he was uninjured. The latest thread confirmed Shaulov issued a statement saying he was fine. The driver of the other vehicle and occupants were not named in earlier reports.
The case has been transferred to the traffic-collision investigation unit. No charges have been filed, and the investigation is in its preliminary stages. The summonses represent the first formal investigative step since the accident.
It remains unverified whether any party has been questioned or given testimony. The specific time and location of the questioning have not been disclosed. No further details about the condition of the other vehicle's occupants have been released.
