MDA informed Lahi Pa:
At 20:25 PM, a report was received at MDA's 101 hotline in the Carmel area about a pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle on Shimshon Street in Haifa. MDA medics and paramedics are providing medical treatment and referring a 45-year-old man to Rambam Hospital in serious condition, unconscious with a severe head injury.
MDA paramedic Shiral Neuwirt said:
"This is a pedestrian who was hit by a private vehicle. He was lying in the middle of the road next to the vehicle, unconscious and suffering from a severe head injury. We provided him with life-saving medical treatment and evacuated him in an MDA intensive care unit to the hospital in serious and stable condition."
We wish the dear victim a speedy recovery and keep our fingers crossed for the family. He will survive, he is strong, it hurts to hear...
In Haifa, on Pel-Yam Street in the city center, near the courthouses, the Income Tax Department, the National Insurance Institute, the Ministry of the Interior, and many law firms, it is absolutely impossible to walk on the sidewalk on the side of the Income Tax Department: vehicles are parked all over the sidewalk and go up and down, and pedestrians are in great danger if they try to walk on the sidewalk. If I tried to say something to the driver who started to walk on the sidewalk where I was walking at that moment, I received a flood of anger towards me. Getting off there and walking on the road is a greater danger, the road is packed with passenger vehicles….. There is no enforcement here: where is the municipal inspection? But if I try to give a little food to the cat, the municipal inspectors will immediately appear with the threat of a fine of over 700 shekels……
3 pedestrians seriously to critically injured in Carmel within a week.
The jungle of cars on the roads has a heavy price
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have already internalized it. They are quickly promoting the closure of streets to pedestrians, wide sidewalks, enforcement against motorcycles riding on sidewalks and crosswalks, the removal of traffic lights and a slowdown.
Traffic. In Haifa, they refuse. The result is "leading" pedestrian injuries since the beginning of 2024. Half or a third of Jerusalem and Haifa residents and more pedestrian accidents than their own..
*Half or a third of the residents of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and more pedestrian accidents than their own.
Enough with the road accidents on Samson Street in the dark, go out if the dog is curious where his dog is, speedy recovery to the injured drivers, drive carefully.
