(Live here) – Car accident on Hefen Street (Tuesday 16.4.25, at 14:12)
A report was received at the 101 hotline of the Carmel Area MDA about a car accident in which a girl was injured by a private vehicle, on HaGefen Street in Haifa.
MDA medics and paramedics who were called to the scene provided initial medical care to an 11-year-old girl who was injured while crossing the road. The girl suffered injuries to her limbs and was taken by intensive care unit to the city’s Rambam Medical Center. Her condition was described as moderate.
The circumstances of the accident are being investigated by the police.
It's always convenient to blame the drivers of cars. I see in the traffic signal how and why there are accidents. For example, pedestrians. They cross at a crosswalk. But most of them, what I saw; pass without checking the crossing and the traffic on the road. Sometimes I wait to cross but the driver flew quickly and didn't give me the right of way. I don't drive on the road. We need to think about what is safe for everyone. If the driver wasn't careful, she could have run me over if I came to cross because I have the right. Then don't argue if she doesn't let me pass and she made a mistake, I could have been killed or injured. Traffic observers are sometimes needed on the roads. There hasn't been a campfire around for a while to supervise. It's a shame. And what happens to students learning about driving rules on the roads. There used to be classes, what happened? Why?
It is important to clarify these rules for children.
An 11-year-old girl was moderately injured in Haifa
An 80-year-old man on a scooter was run over and seriously injured in Kiryat Shmuel
An 18-year-old motorcyclist was killed in Ibn Gvirol in Haifa.
And a police officer on a motorcycle was killed on Highway 70.
– All this in 48 hours in the area…
A 17% increase in traffic accident fatalities from 2024…
The madness on the roads continues, importers continue to flood with vehicles, Volt motorcycles continue to rampage on the city's roads. And the media continues to remain silent because car importers advertise heavily.
"Enough drivers, be careful. There is not a day without traffic accidents. I'm fed up." Crossing the road, drivers, be careful. Children are dear to parents.
Parents kept their children safe from crazy drivers on the road, motorcyclists.
Not particularly careful that freedom will pass
Peace be with all the children of the land.
It's not necessarily the drivers' fault. With the stupid crosswalk law, residents think the road belongs to them and drivers must be careful even if they're not crossing at crosswalks.
Right of way is given, not demanded.
A person with the reaction of a supervisor should not have a driver's license.
Probably treats this as a license to murder pedestrians.
