At least one woman has died and 9 people have been injured as buses and private cars collided in a massive vehicular accident at the Shaul Hamelech-Bar Illan intersection in Sanhedria, Yerushalayim.
The crash occurred at about 4:50 p.m. when two buses – one of them an accordion bus – a minibus and four cars collided.
Passengers were trapped in one vehicle that was seriously smashed.
Volunteers from United Hatzalah, Zaka and others treated the injured, while rescue personnel extricated those who were trapped in vehicles.
