22 people traveling today (Tuesday) at noon on a bus on Levi Eshkol Street in Rishon LeZion were injured to varying degrees after the bus overturned. The injured were evacuated to Wolfson and Assaf Harofeh hospitals.

MDA motorcycle unit paramedic Elchanan Alon and MDA motorcycle emergency medic Eran Carmel reported: "We arrived at a very complex road accident involving a bus and 5 vehicles.

"When we arrived, we were told that the bus had mounted the traffic circle and as a result collided with a vehicle, which caused a chain accident involving 4 additional vehicles - which caused the bus to overturn on its side. From the bus, about 20 passengers walked toward us, all in mild condition with minor injuries to their bodies.
