Netanya: 15-year-old girl moderately hurt after slipping on an e-scooter in Shlulit Park
A 15-year-old slipped on her e-scooter in Netanya's Shlulit Park and hit her head. Medics rushed her to Laniado — here's what we know.
A 15-year-old girl was moderately injured after slipping while riding an electric scooter in Shlulit Park (Park HaShlulit) in Netanya, local news site NetanyaNet reported on Sunday, 15 November 2026. She suffered injuries to her head and limbs.
What happened
The call came in to Magen David Adom’s dispatch centre. The first responder on the scene was Yonatan Yankelevich, an EMT with MDA-Hatzala Sharon. He said he was sent after a report of a scooter rider who had slipped, arrived quickly and found the teenager lying on the path, fully conscious, with head and limb injuries.
EMTs Eliyahu Ben Tovim and Hanan Danhi of United Hatzalah (Ihud Hatzala) also attended. According to them, passers-by said the girl slipped on the scooter and struck her head and limbs, and one of the passers-by gave her first aid at the scene.
Treatment and evacuation
Medics stopped the bleeding, applied bandages and splinted the injured limbs. She was then taken by an intensive care ambulance to Laniado Hospital in a moderate condition. The report does not say what caused the fall — speed, the state of the path or the weather — and does not mention any police involvement.
E-scooters in Netanya
This is not the first e-scooter casualty in the city in recent weeks. In early November we reported a young rider seriously hurt on David Remez Street and a 21-year-old injured on Arlozorov Street, while the municipality has been running night-time enforcement operations in which scooters and batteries were confiscated. Paramedics routinely remind riders that wearing a helmet on an e-scooter is required by Israeli law, and that slowing down on wet or uneven park paths is wise — especially for teenagers.
