A motorcycle rider aged around 30 died and an eight-year-old boy was seriously injured on Thursday in two separate traffic accidents in central Israel, medics said.
The motorcyclist sustained fatal head injuries when he collided with a car on Route 5 near to the Tikva interchange in central Israel.
He was taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, where doctors pronounced him dead.

He was taken to Beilinson hospital sedated and on a respirator, with injuries to his head and limbs.
