"There was a bus on the road and on the side of the road there was a private vehicle that was thrown into the bushes. Four family members were trapped inside, among them a man and woman in their 30s, a four-year-old and a one-year-old. The man, woman and toddler were unconscious and suffering from head injuries."
When he was rescued from the car, the toddler had no pulse and wasn't breathing. Paramedics worked to resuscitate him on the way to the hospital.

Police investigators said the private vehicle was probably driving on the right lane. While trying to move into the left lane, the car blocked the bus's path, and the two collided.
Earlier, one person was lightly injured in a different accident near the Kadima Interchange on Highway 4.
