The driver of the private vehicle, about 69 years old, was unconscious after CPR. The MDA medical team had to confirm his death. Zaka North District volunteers took care of honoring the dead and collecting the findings for burial."
There is no escort, no traffic police vehicles, they fly and zigzag on the roads like racing drivers and criminal drivers without a license and without a vehicle test and of course small roads full of vehicles in an unreasonable amount, tens of thousands of vehicles every month. What did you think would happen? 436 deaths in accidents in 2024 instead of 361 the year before. A 20% increase. On the roads, this is a psychic jungle, a big, tall, long, Chinese, massive vehicle will not help you.
It's a shame and painful!! Yesterday I drove on Route 22, I do not express surprise at the difficult and deadly roads. The thought of most drivers on Route 22 north of Ladrom or in the opposite direction borders on disdain and blatant disregard for any speed law, dangerous enforcement, use of cell phones, failure to keep a distance and life-threatening enforcement!! One car that pays!!!
