Initial reports at 19:13 (Jerusalem) indicated two children were injured by a truck while riding an ATV near Hadera, with a 7-year-old seriously hurt. Within minutes, a subsequent report identified the location as the town of Zemer and specified the children's ages. The corroboration evolved from a single ynet report to a formal statement from MDA providing the call time and evacuation details.
The incident is part of a series of ATV-related accidents in recent months. As The Zioneer reported, on June 19, a 35-year-old man was seriously wounded and a 9-year-old boy moderately injured in an ATV rollover in Kfar Bara. On June 13, a 19-year-old man was moderately wounded after an ATV hit a tree near Ofer Forest. On June 30, two 9-year-old children were injured by a motorcycle in Bir al-Maksur.
The circumstances leading to the collision are still under investigation. No further details on the driver of the truck or the cause of the accident have been released.
