Prof. Avi Ravitsky, who was run down and seriously injured by a bus on Jaffa Road, was discharged from Ra'anana's Beit Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital this week after over a year of intensive treatment. Ravitsky will live at home and continue to undergo rehabilitation.

Ravitsky was in a coma for four weeks after being struck by the bus, as he crossed Jaffa Road near the Machane Yehuda market. Police said that Ravitsky had crossed on a green crossing light, meaning that the bus that hit him had gone through a red light. Disciplinary action was taken against the driver.
