Tomer and Yaniv rode together and crashed to death: "The driver left no chance"

Tomer Weinstein and Yaniv Logsey are the two cyclists killed this morning (Monday) in the car accident near the Bnei Zion mosque in Sharon. The two, residents of Kadima-Zoran, went on a joint ride during which a vehicle hit them and drove them to death. The offending vehicle driver, a 29-year-old from Or Akiva, was arrested and brought for questioning.

Revital Canning, Weinstein's sister, said: "He was the family's protector. He rode a bicycle with a friend this morning, just the two of them. He rode all the time, he is a professional and responsible athlete." The nurse noted that her brother, 45, left behind a wife and three children aged eight, 12 and 15. "He was a stunning person, always present, sociable, smiling, always supportive and in everything. I can't say what it would be like without him. I have no words about this loss. Shock to everyone. I don't know how we will continue."

"He was amazing, charismatic, captivating and swept everyone behind him," added nurse Michal Aharoni, who told Weinstein he just returned from a vacation in Budapest yesterday. "He was an amazing uncle to my kids. He was sick of sports - running, riding and swimming." His funeral will be held tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Logsey, 44, left behind a wife and three children aged eight, 11 and 13. He worked at a high-tech company and specialized in developing complex financial systems. His brother-in-law, Oren Faran, said that Yaniv "came out today in the morning, at a quarter to six, as he has done in all the past years. He was training in a cycling and running team. Today he went out with Tomer."

"He was an amazing person, always helpful, always with the kids in everything he needed," the brother-in-law added. "Travel and travel, investing in school, taking them to everything you need. In the army he was in the Yael patrol, made many years of reserve. A man who is proactive, full of ideas, savvy in all that is complex."

Farren protested the carnage on the roads, saying "this lawlessness must be put to an end." He said, "The driver drove from the other side of the road. They drove at the entrance to Bnei Zion, this is a two-lane road, and the driver cut the track and entered them and into the guardrail. He left them no chance. They drove in their lane, and he apparently cut the lane."

Kadima-Zoran is having trouble digesting the deaths of two residents who were killed in the serious accident on Route 5511. The council's principal, Keren Green, said: "We got up this morning, on a hard morning, where we learned that the two residents were killed in a car accident."

The council made it clear that professional teams were sent to assist families, and that schools had conversations with students. "The Kadima-Zoran community is bowing its head today and participating in the heavy grief of families," Green added.

The offending driver was lightly injured and treated at the scene of the accident. Police launched an investigation.

A sympathetic MDA paramedic Bain said that "When we arrived on the scene, the sight was very difficult. We saw two pairs of disassembled bicycles on the road, and a private squashed vehicle. On the road, two 40-year-old men lay with a very severe systemic injury. We gave them medical treatment and after resuscitation attempts we had to determine their deaths. The driver of a 29-year-old man was treated at the scene. "
