Beit Shemesh Smash

2 teenage girls were driving along Route 38 outside of Beit Shemesh when, for reasons that are not clear, they swerved out of their lane and collided head-on with a sedan coming in the opposite direction. A third car spun off the road in an attempt to avoid the accident.

While this type of accident occurs with frightening frequency throughout the world its unfortunately all too common here in Israel.

This accident in fact provided a textbook case of inter-agency cooperation, complex extrication and rapid triage/treatment.

United Hatzalah Paramedic Moshe Braun only had words of praise for the volunteers who rapidly responded and integrated with additional rescue forces as they arrived.
