A worker, about 30, was killed when a heavy slab fell on him from a truck at a work site on Granit Street in Sha'arei Tikva, near Sha'ar Shomron. Rescue medics said his severe injuries left no chance of survival.
The fatal accident, first reported at 09:23 Jerusalem, initially involved a critically injured worker who was extricated unconscious by Magen David Adom teams. By the same minute's later reports, the worker was declared dead at the scene. The current update specifies the exact location: Granit Street in the Sha'arei Tikva industrial zone, adjacent to Sha'ar Shomron. United Hatzalah medics David Ackerman and Dudi Nagar determined the cause as a heavy slab that fell from a truck, leaving the 30-year-old worker with injuries that offered no chance of survival.
As The Zioneer reported at 09:23 Jerusalem, early accounts from Channel 12 described the incident as a heavy object striking a worker at the Shomron Regional Council site. Within the same hour, the report shifted from 'critically injured and evacuated' to 'pronounced dead at the scene,' reflecting the rapid escalation of the incident's severity. The current update narrows the location to the Granit Street site, clarifying the exact industrial zone involved.
The Sha'arei Tikva industrial zone serves as a hub for construction and logistics in the Samaria area. This latest fatality follows another work-related death earlier this month in the same regional area, as The Zioneer previously noted.
The precise circumstances leading to the slab falling from the truck remain under investigation. No further details regarding the worker's identity or employer have been released.
