A bus driver was severely injured in a rock-throwing attack that took place near the town of Givat Asaf on Highway 60.

United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Meir Cohen who was the first medical responder at the scene relayed: “I was driving my bus on Highway 60 when I saw the traffic build up in front of me just past Givat Assaf. I saw that something was wrong and as I came to the head of the column of traffic I saw another bus driver who had been the victim of a rock-throwing attack. The window was shattered and the driver had been hit in the face with a stone. I called United Hatzalah’s dispatch and requested an ambulance and additional volunteers at the scene. The driver was semi-conscious and in moderate condition. Together with EMT and Binyamin Regional Head of United Hatzalah Menachem Leff, I treated the injured bus driver as we waited for the ambulance to arrive.”
