In the span of an hour, three people were killed Thursday evening in separate car accidents on Israel’s roads.
In the first case, a 40-year-old motorcyclist was fatally struck by a vehicle on the highway in Tel Aviv, with paramedics pronouncing his death at the scene. Police announced an investigation into the case.
Around 30 minutes later, a man in his 40s flipped over in his car while driving on Route 2211 near Moshav Dekel in southern Israel. He too was declared dead at the site of the crash.
Not long after that, a 16-year-old pedestrian in Beersheba was critically injured after being struck by a car.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the teenager was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

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.
