Emergency personnel rushed to an old age home in the Israeli city of Raanana on Thursday, after receiving reports that a vehicle had slammed straight inside the lobby of the building.
Upon their arrival, they were relieved to find that only the driver and two others had suffered minor injuries.
First Responders from United Hatzalah,and Magen David Adom rushed to the scene and treated two people who sustained light injuries. One woman was 74 while another was 34. Both were hit by the car and sustained mild head injuries. The injured were taken to Meir hospital in Kfar Saba.
A Magen David Adom Paramedic, Rafael Nahari, told the media that it was a real miracle that many people were not seriously injured, or R”L killed.
Watch the video below, how people sitting in the lobby managed to see the vehicle coming and in a split second got out of their way, sparing them of serious injury.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.

I suppose this is a new beta test for drive-thru nursing home care facilities.
With a little refinement it should be good to go.
I know good nursing homes are hard to find, but a drive-thru??
Seriously, how on earth did this happen? Who was the driver? It’s a neis no one was seriously injured or killed.
Just one of the older residents coming home who needed the bathroom quickly. No problem, what is all the fuss about?
