(Live here) – Bus driver intentionally crashed into private vehicle near Haifa University – arrested and jailed
Coastal District police from the Nesher station arrested last night (Monday, 28/04/25) a 62-year-old bus driver, a resident of Daliyat al-Karmel, on suspicion of intentionally crashing into a private vehicle during an argument on a road near Haifa University.
According to the police report, the incident occurred after a confrontation that developed between the bus driver and the private car driver. At the height of the confrontation, the bus driver allegedly hit the private car and dragged it along the road.
Traffic accident investigators from the Carmel Coastal District were called to the scene immediately upon receiving the report. The driver of the private vehicle was evacuated from the scene with minor injuries, according to medical officials.
The suspect was detained for questioning at Nesher police station, and it was decided to detain him. Today (Tuesday, 29/04/25) the police are expected to request an extension of his detention in court, depending on the findings of the investigation.
The investigation continues.
There is nothing we can do until we sort out the jungle on the roads in Israel, especially in the big cities like what is happening in Haifa, which is a daily disaster. With the density and overload of vehicles on the roads, we will get more and more violence and road bullying, hundreds more deaths and hundreds of injuries, and hundreds of incidents of "road battles."
The millionaire pensioners who are constantly stockpiling cars in Carmel live in the illusion that they will be able to continue as if nothing happened, filling the neighborhoods with thousands of additional vehicles in Tama 38, and in some fit of rage, someone will not stab them with the new Chinese straight to the next world. It will happen.
This is really disturbing. I firmly refuse to take buses on Stella Maris Street because of the steep drop. I don't like Yafa Nof that much either, but it's not that close. We need to stay alert. Things are happening in Haifa that have changed for the worse.
