Video taken from the dashcam of a vehicle at the scene of an accident involving National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, shows his official vehicle running a red light.
The video shows the black sedan arriving at the junction and slowing almost to a complete stop at the red light.
It then pushes into the intersection. A first vehicle manages to break in time to avoid hitting it, but a second car plowed into the minister’s vehicle, causing it to overturn.
One of Ben Gvir’s accompanying security vehicles also followed him through the red light intersection, but was not hit.
Ben Gvir had been leaving the scene of a terror attack in Ramle.
His office says his daughter and driver were also in the vehicle with him at the time and all three were lightly injured.
Police say they are investigating the crash.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
