The operator of an electric mobility scooter was killed in a vehicular crash near the entrance to Kfar Chabad earlier Wednesday morning 12 Shevat.

Magen David Adom reports the call came in at 5:20AM for an electric scooter that was struck by a vehicle on Route 44 near the entrance to Kfar Chabad. Paramedics had no alternative but to pronounce the victim, a man in his 70s, dead on the scene.

Paramedic Shoham Gelbstein explained �The approximately 70-year-old male was on the left side of the roadway near the electric cart. He was unconscious from the accident and had sustained multisystem trauma. He was in traumatic arrest. A few tests were performed to determine our course of action and due to the extent of his injures, we had no alternative but to pronounce him dead�.
