A truck driven by an Israeli Arab drove into a number of vehicles and then hit a but, killing one person and injuring four to five others, Israel Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld told Xinhua.
The wounded people are being treated at the scene, he added.
A passerby told Army radio that the truck repeatedly slammed into a bus, and then crashed into other vehicles, stressing that it did not appear to be an accidental loss of control of the vehicle. A first-responder said there appeared to be 10 to 15 people injured in the event.
Police are questioning the Arab truck driver, who was apprehended shortly after fleeing the scene of the incident, according to local reports.
Israeli police has raised alert on Sunday as the Palestinians and Arabs mark the Nakba Day, an annual commemoration of the disaster Palestinians suffered during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948.
