New footage shows the moment a truck collided with a pedestrian overpass on Israel’s Highway 4 – killing the driver R”L.

The major highway between Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan was closed overnight on Monday while debris was removed from the roadway.

It took first responders several hours to access the truck’s cabin, by which time they found the driver, 58-year-old Elichai Tederi lifeless.

His wife, from Holon, said she was on the phone with her husband at the time of the crash.

Police initially believed there was a second passenger, but that was found untrue when they finally removed the extremely heavy debris that had fallen on top of the cabin.

Police are investigating why the truck’s hydraulic crane was open higher than the legal height.
