Overpass Collapses In Bnei Brak Killing 1



The Ramat Elchanan pedestrian-overpass connecting Bnei Brak and Givat Shmuel collapsed onto a truck earlier this evening. The incident took place near the entrance to Bnei Brak over the busy highway 4, which leads to Haifa.

Emergency and rescue and personnel rushed to the scene and discovered the driver trapped in the truck. Unfortunately, he was later discovered without any sign of life.

Gush Dan Police blocked off both sides of highway, and have launched an investigating into the cause of the incident. Large traffic jams have been reported all across the area and police are asking drivers to seek alternative routes.

Gush Dan fire fighters sawed through the dividers on highway 4, in order to turn one direction into a 2-way freeway to permit the traffic flow in both directions.

According to an Ichud Hatzalah report: “A truck driver was trapped in his truck; as a result of a pedestrian overpass that collapsed on his truck on highway 4, - near the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood in Bei Brak”.

Police spokesman released a statement saying, “due to the collapse of the overpass, highway 4, is closed from Mesubim interchange till the Aluf Sadeh interchange. Drivers are asked to find an alternative route”.
