An 85-year-old man was killed after being hit by a car while driving his granddaughter on an electric scooter in the northern city of Afula on Wednesday night, Hebrew media reported.
The elderly man and his grandchild were reportedly driving on the right lane on Shprinzak Street when a private vehicle violently collided with them.
MDA medics who arrived at the scene evacuated the two victims to the Emek Medical Center, the old man in critical condition and the child in mild condition. The man later succumbed to his wounds.
Security cameras documenting the scene showed the driver of the car clinging slowly to the bus that was driving in front of him, and quickly moving into the other lane to try to overtake the larger vehicle. However, by doing so, the driver caused the collision with the grandfather and child.
Nearby pedestrians came to assist the two victims until the paramedics arrived.
The driver who caused the accident has been detained by police for questioning.
