Driving violently:
Ella Robich Wolf, the mother of the 5-year-old who was rushed to the hospital after being hit by an electric bicycle in the Tel Aviv port, shared her feelings: "It's like there is some kind of timer, a countdown that a parent has in this country, until he receives a call that his child has been injured in an accident with A motorized vehicle. It happened yesterday with us, but in Ichilov they say it's such a routine matter, that the timer works all the time, even if you didn't know. Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised.
Countdown.

"You can, as a parent, take the children to an area where motorized vehicles are prohibited, you can teach them and practice with them not to move a meter without looking left and right, even when they are not on the road at all. Be near them all the time, physically, and still three boys will arrive on a flight and pick up Take the girl who walks carefully with a glass of juice towards her father two meters in the air, because they don't have brakes."

The mother added and shared: "My daughter saw this bike coming towards her, stopped, tried to run away from them, and still this boy entered her with his bayonet in the face. She is not yet five years old, five feet and twenty feet of pure honey and a motorized bayonet in the face.

"Two huge speakers were also attached to the bike so that you know, it won't be boring when you ride an electric vehicle without brakes in a port in an area intended for pedestrians.
"In any case, my special girl, whose father was half a meter away from her, and flew her to Ichilov with the help of another family of angels who were there - came out miraculously.
The area is not intended for cyclists.

"Luckily, only her teeth were broken and not her jaw. She only had cuts on her palate and no external cuts, and she is full of bruises, bleeding and abrasions. No internal injuries, no irreversible injuries.
"I'm not being cynical now, this is all truly a miracle. It could be so much worse. We'll recover and be fine, but what about next time? With the timer? With the next girl? Maybe she'll be yours?
