The city resident in her 40s was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the serious accident and fleeing the scene. She was brought to the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court for a hearing in her case, where her detention was extended by two days.

Attorney Yaniv Yaakov, CEO of the Or Yerok association, said: "Hit and run accidents are a scourge of the state. Last week in Netanya a child was killed and yesterday a young man was killed. This is an anti-social and anti-moral act of the first order. Drivers hit, run away from the scene of the accident and leave the injured to bleed on the road. The way to eradicate this despicable phenomenon is through tougher punishment. A driver who knew that if he left the scene of the accident, he would be severely punished, would not rush to abandon the injured. The courts must send a clear message that there is no forgiveness and no forgiveness for hit and run.'
