Two men were killed Thursday evening in a serious collision between a motorcycle and a private car on Highway 65 between the Golani Interchange and Netofa Interchange, police said. Their identities are not yet known. The road is blocked in both directions; police traffic investigators are at the scene.
Police confirmed Thursday evening that two men were killed in a collision between a motorcycle and a private car on Highway 65 between the Golani Interchange and Netofa Interchange. Paramedics at the scene declared both men dead; their identities have not yet been released. Traffic investigators are on site, and Highway 65 is closed in both directions, with drivers being diverted.
The desk first reported a serious incident at Golani Junction at 18:30 Jerusalem (Thu 18:30). By the same time, MDA was performing resuscitation on two critically injured motorcyclists. At 18:53, MDA declared both riders dead. The current dispatch — a separate crash involving a motorcycle and a private car, not just two motorcycles — initially cited its police source as saying there were two fatalities, and the scene is distinct from the earlier one. Police are still determining whether the two incidents overlap geographically or are entirely separate.
Highway 65 has been the scene of multiple serious accidents in recent weeks, as The Zioneer reported. A fatal car explosion on the same road on Jun 13 claimed one life; a motorcyclist was critically injured near Tzomet Hasargel on Jun 22; and a woman was seriously injured near Tavor Junction on Jun 13.
It remains unclear whether Thursday's two collisions — the motorcycle-motorcycle crash at 18:30 and the motorcycle-car crash — involved the same riders or vehicles. Police have not yet confirmed whether the locations are identical or adjacent.
