A horrific crash in central Tel Aviv left at least ten people injured Monday evening after a Dan bus slammed into a tree and an electrical pole on Dizengoff Street before veering into pedestrian traffic.

Among the victims is an 11-year-old girl who was critically wounded and remains in life-threatening condition.

According to Magen David Adom, the injured included both pedestrians and passengers aboard the bus.

MDA medics and paramedics treated ten victims at the scene, including the young girl, who suffered traumatic arrest and was transported to Ichilov Hospital while undergoing CPR efforts.

Additional victims include a 49-year-old woman and a 76-year-old man listed in serious condition, a 39-year-old man in moderate condition suffering from a back injury, and six others who sustained light injuries.

Ichilov Hospital said trauma and emergency teams are continuing intensive lifesaving efforts to save the life of the 11-year-old girl.

Large forces from MDA, fire and rescue services, and police operated at the scene for an extended period following the crash.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.
