A driver was reported seriously injured in a bus-minibus crash near Rokach interchange, while Ichilov later said a driver brought there was being treated in moderate condition.
According to Channel 14's report on a Magen David Adom update, 17 people were injured on the southbound Ayalon: a minibus driver around 50 in serious condition, a 17-year-old girl in moderate condition and 15 others lightly injured. Patients were taken to Ichilov, Sheba and Wolfson hospitals.
In a further update included in the report, Ichilov said it had received eight patients: six girls and an adult with minor injuries, and a minibus driver in moderate condition in the trauma room. It was not clear whether he was the driver Magen David Adom had earlier described as seriously injured, so the updates do not establish that his condition improved.
Traffic officers and crash investigators attended the scene to examine the circumstances and direct traffic. The report described southbound congestion; this is not a live traffic update for the time of reading.
