Magen David Adom released operational documentation of the multi-vehicle crash on Highway 6. A 3-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy are in serious condition; two men in their 30s are moderately injured, according to N12's Itai Gal-On.
At approximately 12:21 Jerusalem, Magen David Adom (MDA) released operational photo documentation of the multi-vehicle crash on Highway 6, roughly nine minutes after the incident was first reported. The photo, credited to MDA's operational documentation unit, shows rescue crews at the scene and confirms the same casualty figures already reported by The Zioneer and N12.
The Zioneer first reported the crash at 12:12 Jerusalem, citing MDA's initial dispatch: a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 6 between the Shorak and Kiryat Gat junctions, with a 3-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy in serious condition with head injuries, and two men in their 30s in moderate condition; an MDA helicopter was dispatched to the scene. Within the same minute, additional details from N12's Itai Gal-On (v2 and v3) confirmed the same casualty figures and added that MDA crews treated all four at the scene. The source quality evolved from MDA's initial report to a confirmed N12 account, with casualty figures unchanged across all updates.
Highway 6 has been the site of multiple serious accidents in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, a vehicle rollover near the Nitzanei Oz Interchange left five injured, three moderately. MDA's release of operational documentation today is part of standard procedure for major incidents.
The cause of the crash remains unknown, and the identities of the victims have not been released. Police have not yet announced an investigation.
