Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived on the scene treated the wounded, three of whom were moderately injured, while seven other suffered only light wounds. All of the wounded were eventually transferred to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. According to an initial police investigation, the bus driver slammed into the parked truck, trapping the passengers on the bus. Firefighters who arrived on the scene managed to extricate the passengers using the "Jaws of Life." Only after all of the passengers were out, did paramedics then determine that one of them had died.
