Teen seriously injured, possibly from exploding e-cigarette
The Magen David Adom rescue service says a teen is in serious condition and another teen was moderately wounded, reportedly after an electronic cigarette they were using exploded.
The pair, both 14, were hospitalized after being injured while at a park in the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Ata while “likely playing with a flammable material,” MDA says. Responding medics managed to resuscitate the more seriously injured teen, whose heart stopped beating and who is described as having extensive injuries to his upper body.
According to Israel Hayom, police are also investigating the possibility that the two were injured not by an e-cigarette, but after attaching an electric scooter to a merry-go-round as part of a TikTok challenge.
