Two people were killed in a collision Sunday morning between a van and a truck in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan.
Another six people were injured in the crash, including two hospitalized in critical condition. Three people were moderately hurt and another was lightly injured.
The truck driver was not injured.
“At first eight people were trapped in the vehicle. Only four managed to extricate themselves and four were rescued by firefighters,” a spokesman for the Magen David Adom rescue services told Army Radio.
The spokesman said the injured were taken to Sheba Medical Center in nearby Tel Aviv for treatment.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
