Last update - 16:26 02/02/2008 Three road accidents in north leave one dead, 16 injured By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: road accident, Galilee Three road accidents in the Galilee on Friday night left one person dead and 16 others injured, including one critically and nine seriously. A pedestrian who was hit by an oncoming vehicle was killed near the western Galilee town of Mitzpeh Aviv. In another accident, five people were injured - one critically and two seriously - as two cars were involved in a head-on collision near Carmiel. Advertisement Another two-car accident near Kisra junction on Highway 854 left a man in his thirties critically injured. Eleven others, among them children, were hurt, seven of them seriously. All the victims are believed to be residents of the nearby village of Kfar Kisra. Magen David Adom rescue services arrived at the scene and extricated the injured that were trapped in the wreckage of the vehicles. A helicopter airlifted the critically injured man to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. The other injured were rushed to the hospital in Nahariya. The section of the highway in which the accident took place is notorious for the many accidents that have occurred there in the past. The road is believed especially dangerous at night because it meanders and is unlit.
