Court remands drunk driver in Tel Aviv hit-and-run that left teen seriously injured

The driver, a soccer player for a team in Israel’s top league, was found to have blood alcohol content five times the legal limit.

The driver hit the 16-year-old and his friend while they were riding on an electric bicycle on the city’s northern Rokach Boulevard early Monday morning. The 16-year-old was taken to Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital, where he underwent surgery and is being treated for serious head injuries.
