The truck driver, Elihai Tedri, was killed as the crane on his truck smashed into a pedestrian bridge on Highway 4 in Tel Aviv region, central Israel yesterday, causing the bridge to collapse on his cabin. Rescue forces had to close the main highway for several hours, and managed to get his body out only 4-5 hours after the accident. No one else was hurt in this accident, even that several kids were walking on the bridge right before the truck hit it. The same bridge was already hit by a truck in a similiar accident in 2009, but survived the impact.
