A 35-year-old man was killed after a car drove into a cafe in Kfar Saba north of Tel Aviv. One injured person was evacuated in light condition. Two passersby received treatment at the scene for anxiety symptoms. Despite Tesla cars having Full Self-Driving technology, this option is still not approved in Israel and therefore, the human factor was most likely the only cause of the accident.
Initially suspected as terror attack but determined to be accident – Tesla driver lost control Thursday morning of her vehicle and crashed into the Nono & Mimi cafe in Kfar Saba. Consequently, a 35-year-old man lost his life. Another person sustained light injuries.
An eyewitness stated, "There was tremendous panic. Everyone assumed it was terror attack. Very rapidly it became apparent that this involved accident, with driver who lost control and swerved into the café."
