In another bloody weekend on Israel's roads, three people were killed in three separate car accidents in less than 24 hours on Friday.
A woman walking on the road near Deir Hannah in the Galilee was killed Friday evening when she was hit by a motorcycle. The motor biker and a second passenger were seriously injured in the crash.
Shortly afterwards, a pedestrian was killed near Kibbutz Lohamei Hageta'ot in a hit-and-run accident. A Magen David Adom team that arrived at the scene was unsuccessful in its resuscitation efforts. Police were searching for the offending vehicle.
Early Friday morning, 27-year-old Meital Aharonson was killed and another woman was moderately injured in a hit-and-run next to Tel Aviv's Rabin Square.
The accident occurred after the driver of a Toyota Land Cruiser refused to undergo an alcohol test at the Tel Aviv Port and was arrested. One of the driver's two friends who were with him in the car then took the wheel and sped away from the scene. Some twenty minutes later, police received a report that two pedestrians had been hit in a serious accident.
The two women were evacuated to Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital, where Aharonson died of her wounds and her friend underwent an operation.
The vehicle, which belonged to a Ramat Gan resident, was found Friday morning, abandoned on the city's Henrietta Szold Street.
The owner of the vehicle was arrested and police said he was refusing to give the names of the two men who sped away in his car.
