Tel Aviv – Polish officials say that several vehicles in a convoy that included Poland’s prime minister collided during a state visit to Israel.

The car carrying Prime Minister Beata Szydlo was not one of those that collided. She was unharmed.
The accident occurred late Monday as Szydlo was being transported from Tel Aviv airport to Jerusalem at the start of Polish-Israeli discussions.
Polish government spokesman Rafal Bochenek said that two Polish officials required medical attention but were not badly hurt.
One was a government security guard and the other a staff member of the prime minister’s office.
The rule is that the driver of the car that crashes into the car in front is guilty. Seems that the policeman who drove his car into the back of the ambulance must have had his mind on other things. A lot of serious damage there. Was he talking on his cellphone as the Israeli police are often seem to be doing?
