A one-month-old infant was killed today (Friday) and three other people were seriously and moderately injured in a collision between a car and a bus on Rpute, in the Neve Ilan and Abu Ghosh area. An MDA team is providing medical treatment at the scene.

MDA medics Meir Gershoni and Nadav Taieb said, "This was a severe accident. A roughly one-month-old infant was unconscious and a man who was seriously injured lay on the road, and inside the vehicle that was at the roadside a man and a woman were trapped. We immediately began initial medical treatment and urgently evacuated the infant to Shaare Zedek Hospital while performing resuscitation, as her condition was critical. The man who lay on the road and the two casualties who were trapped in the vehicle and rescued by firefighters were seriously injured. We provided them medical treatment and evacuated them to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital with severe injuries."
