The scene of the accident in which two pedestrians were killed near the Yad Mordechai intersection, August 12, 2022 (Mada operations documentation)

14-year-old Liron Barmi was run over to death tonight (Saturday) after being hit by a vehicle on Route 40 in Petah Tikva, while on her way to visit a friend.

She was found by an MDA team that arrived at the scene, and evacuated her during resuscitation operations to the Bilinson Hospital in the city - where she was later pronounced dead. The police were called to the scene and began investigating the circumstances of the accident.

"We don't know what exactly happened," said her aunt Simona Berami-Alzaid. She was walking with her friend.

The driver who hit her fatally hit her and she died right after the impact.

She went to sit with a friend as a farewell to the city because she and her mother moved back to Sderot three weeks ago.

Because of the rush with the last round, she asked to go freshen up and say goodbye to her friends because she was supposed to start her studies in the ninth grade at the new school in Sderot.

Her friend's father called to inform my sister that there was an accident and that she needed to come to the hospital.

The friend who was with her was shocked."

She was a special girl.

Barmi-Alzaid continued and said that Liron was a special, smart and very mature girl.

"Life with a single mother has matured her, she helped her a lot with her little brother," she shared.

"We are shocked. At first we thought she was riding a scooter but in the end it wasn't. I can't believe this is happening to us again, my niece died suddenly of a brain aneurysm four years ago when she was 21 years old."
