Oct 27, 10:35 AM ET: Ichud Hatzalah of Israel 1221 said that “during the night” its medics helped the two riders of a motorcycle hit by a car on Derech HaShalom in Tel Aviv. It said both were 25 and both were hurt “moderately.” It did not say who took them to hospital or to which hospital.
Oct 27, 11:31 AM ET: MDA said the call came in at 4:09 PM Israel time. It said its crews were taking two people to Ichilov hospital: a 28-year-old hurt “moderately,” with a belly injury, and one more person hurt “lightly.” Srugim and Kikar HaShabbat reported MDA’s version.
Both posts are about the same crash, but they give different ages, different injuries and a different time of day. Which is it?
The proof
Their statement: 10:35 AM ET, Oct 27, 2026 — Ichud Hatzalah of Israel 1221 Telegram: “during the night” its medics gave first aid after a crash between a car and a motorcycle on Derech HaShalom in Tel Aviv, to “the two motorcycle riders (aged 25), who were moderately hurt,” and “they were then taken for further treatment at hospital.” The post does not say who took them or which hospital.
The record: 11:31 AM ET — MDA: a report came in at 16:09 Israel time (10:09 AM ET) of “2 riders on a motorcycle hit by a car on Derech HaShalom in Tel Aviv.” MDA’s EMTs and paramedics were treating and taking 2 people to Ichilov hospital, “a young man of 28, in moderate condition with an abdominal injury, and 1 light.” Srugim and Kikar HaShabbat reported MDA’s version. Srugim had earlier run Ichud Hatzalah of Israel 1221’s version.
Which is it? Ages and how badly someone is hurt can be judged differently at first; which account is right is unproven.
