This noon, a Metropoline bus, line 377 on its way from central Israel towards south, crashes a truck, then turned over.

5 killed, more than 50 injured, some of them critically.

IDF assisted in flying injured into hospitals in central Israel.

Sadly, Highway 6 is a death-road, even if it was supposed to be accident-proof. You don't have emergency exists there, at all.

In 2009, I was injured at the very same road, in an accident on my way to Haifa. a truck crashed us from behind, my dad noticed it just barely a second before it happened that the driver won't be able to stop in time, I think he was high, but anyway, he didn't have the time or ability to try and escape, and we found ourselves crashing into some poor guy's car.

That was awful.

That road seriously needs to be fixed.

When I was in Israel a few summers ago, I was with my cousin and he said that some of the main roads (I'm not sure where) have a special asphault the repels rain so the roads won't get slippery. Do you know what I'm talking about

Some may have them, but not in the southern district.

Surprising
