A 36-year-old biker was killed in an accident at Hatsav Industrial Zone near Rosh Ha’ayin on Monday and 10 were injured in a car crash on Highway 4, according to Israeli media.

The Highway 4 accident in which a number of cars and a truck were involved, occurred on Morasha Interchange near Ramat Hasharon. 
Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics arrived on the scene, evacuating five to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba and The Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva in light condition.
Five others were treated by MDA paramedics but were not evacuated to a hospital.
In Rosh Ha'ayin, MDA paramedics attempted to treat the biker on the scene but eventually had to declare his death.
"When we arrived on the scene, a biker in his 30's was lying unconscious on the road, suffering from multi-system damages," said a ZAKA volunteer. "MDA paramedics attempted prolonged resuscitation attempts but were unfortunately forced to declare his death on the spot," he added.
Last week, A 25-year-old man died and 10 others were injured in a severe car crash on Israel's Highway 90.
