A 60-year-old motorcyclist was killed in Holon on Wednesday evening after being hit by a vehicle that had fled from police.

MDA teams that arrived at the scene performed CPR on the man but pronounced him dead on the spot. The police arrested two suspects who were driving the vehicle and they were brought to the station for questioning.

"When we arrived at the scene, we saw a motorcyclist trapped under the vehicle, unconscious without a pulse," said MDA motorcycle medics Kafir Versano and Yosef Sassoon. "He was not breathing and was suffering from multi-system damage. During the rescue operations, we performed advanced resuscitation operations, but in the end, we had to pronounce his death."

The accident happened after police in Holon confronted suspects of car theft. A suspect car hit the police vehicle and fled after the police fired at the assailants. The police conducted searches for the fleeing vehicle. The suspects drove against traffic before hitting the motorcyclist. As a result of the accident, the rider was fatally injured.
