The man who allegedly struck a family in Kiryat Gat yesterday and is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol claimed in his investigation that he was not drunk. At a court hearing, police sought to extend his remand by seven days.
Soroka Hospital says the 38-year-old father's condition continues to be very critical. He is under sedation and artificial respiration in a general intensive care unit. It was also reported that the two girls, aged five and seven, were admitted to the ICU after undergoing surgery. They are also under sedation and artificial respiration.
