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.
