According to the owner of the shop, Yoram Ben Haim, the woman, identified as Reya Wiener, alighted her vehicle after failing to open the gate using her remote control.
“She got out of her car and the gate was slightly open. She stood between the gate and its post and tried to force it open when it simply crushed her,” said Ben Haim. “People saw everything. Drivers stopped to help but they couldn’t. The gate is heavy as you can see.”
