      An 81-year-old Tirat Carmel resident was killed today (Tuesday) in a car accident on Road 4, near Moshav Megadim on the Carmel coast. His 79-year-old wife, who was with him in the car, was seriously injured, and a 38-year-old man from Atlit was moderately injured.

      Data from the Green Light Association, based on CBS data, show that in the section of the road from Atlit to Tirat Carmel on Road 4 (kilometers 139 to 146) there have been 266 road accidents since 2003. In those accidents 16 people were killed and another 552 people were injured.

      "The section of road from Puridis through Atlit to Tirat Carmel is known as a red section with many accidents and casualties," described Erez Kita, CEO of the Green Light Association. "The section of the road includes one lane in each direction without separation that will prevent frontal accidents. In addition, it suffers from severe infrastructure problems that make it unforgivable for driver errors. It has long been necessary to improve the infrastructure in this section and prevent road accidents. Why wait for more people to be killed on the road and only then take care? "The section of road must be made safe for all road users in order to save lives."

      The accident occurred around 4:30 PM in a head-on collision between the vehicle in which a resident of Atlit was traveling south, with the vehicle in which the elderly were traveling north, when one of the vehicles deviated from its lane for an unknown reason and crossed the double dividing line marked on the road.

      Arale Horowitz, ZAKA North treating the arena, said that when he arrived he saw two vehicles "completely crushed." It is with the elderly rolled over, and everyone involved were trapped in their cars.

      Extracting the complex took seven firefighters and rescue stations in Haifa, Carmel Park, a The West Bank of Hof Hacarmel and the Hadera Regional Station, under the command of Lehavam Oren Zuckerman.

      After a long hour and using hydraulic cutting and puncturing tools the three wounded trapped were rescued. MDA paramedics who were called and were already waiting at the scene provided them with medical treatment and then evacuated them to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. In Rambam's shock room, the man's death was determined shortly after. His wife was immediately taken to the operating room and her condition remained very serious.

      MDA paramedic Yigal Jakubowicz said: We started giving them advanced medical care that included fixations, bandages, and stopping bleeding. "After they were rescued from the vehicles, we took them to the intensive care unit and referred them to the hospital while continuing life-saving treatment, with the condition of one of the wounded who underwent minor surgery in the field in a difficult and unstable condition and the other two in a difficult and stable condition."

      Rambam Hospital later said that the man from Atlit was in a moderate condition and was transferred to one of the hospital's surgical departments.

      The long-distance road was opened to traffic only after hours when it was blocked for police inspectors' work and evacuation of vehicles. The police investigation is ongoing.
