Eight people died and 263 were injured in two accidents in 2005.
The Southern District Prosecutor will soon indict Israel Railways and several of its executives for their responsibility in the train accidents at Revadim and Ahuzam in June 2005. Eight people were killed and 200 were injured when a train hit a truck at the Revadim crossing, and the train driver and 63 passengers were injured when a train hit a truck at the Ahuzam crossing.
The executives to be indicted include the VP of infrastructures and his deputy, who is responsible for engineering, and VP of operations. The charges will likely include negligent homicide and negligent harm.
Israel Police recommended indicting Israel Railways and its executives in October 2005.
