Indictment filed against Israel Railways on Revadim accident
By JPOST.COM STAFF
The Southern District Attorney's Office filed an indictment at the Beersheba District Court on Wednesday, accusing Israel Railways and three of its employees of criminal negligence in the 2005 Revadim train accident.
The indictment includes an accusation over another train accident that occurred near Moshav Ahuzam.
On June 21, 2005, a train collided with a truck near Kibbutz Revadim, killing seven and injuring 190 people. Just two weeks later, on July 8, 2005, a train on the same line hit a truck - stuck on a strip of track near Moshav Ahuzam, south of Kiryat Gat. Thirty six people were injured in that crash.
