Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was injured in a car accident on Friday evening after reportedly running a red light.
Three people were injured and hospitalized in the accident in Ramle near Tel Aviv, police said, announcing an investigation.
Israeli media published a dashcam video from an uninvolved vehicle at the scene of the accident, allegedly showing two cars colliding at a junction. Further footage is said to show Ben-Gvir’s car overturned on a road.
The Haaretz newspaper reported that in addition to the minister, his daughter, a security guard and the driver of the other car were also taken to hospital.
The minister was in good condition, the Times of Israel said, citing his office.
Ben-Gvir was reportedly on his way back from visiting the scene of a suspected knife attack in Ramle. An 18-year-old girl was seriously injured in the incident, with police announcing that the suspected perpetrator had been “neutralized,” without specifying further details.
The car accident was not the first Ben-Gvir has been involved in since taking office. The Times of Israel said he had suffered another crash last summer after his driver ran a red light.
