An 11-year-old girl critically hurt in a bus crash in Tel Aviv earlier this week has died of her injuries, Ichilov Medical Center announced Friday.
She was named as Talia Chaya Timsit.
Ten other people were injured Monday when the bus crashed into a tree and an electrical pole on Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Street, causing it to veer into pedestrian traffic.
The injured also included 49-year-old woman and a 76-year-old man who were both seriously injured.
A Magen David Adom ambulance medic said Timsit was a pedestrian and was hit by the bus, suffering head, facial, and chest injuries.
