A car ploughed into a bus stop in central Israel on Thursday, Israeli emergency services reported.

Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) first responders said they received a report at 9:25 a.m. that a vehicle crashed into a bus stop near Kfar Yona.

A man and woman in their 20s were said to be in “moderate condition, with injuries to the chest and limbs.” Three others were in “mild-moderate condition, with injuries to the head and limbs.” Three people were described as having “mild” injuries.

“The vehicle hit several people and fled the scene,” police spokesman Aryeh Doron informed. The car was abandoned and later recovered, with the driver being hunted using helicopters, motorbikes and a specialist dog unit, police added.

The site of the crash was cordoned off as forensic investigators combed the scene, an AFP photographer said.
