A ‘Palestinian’ man in his 40s was killed overnight in a serious traffic accident on Route 60 near Singil in the Benjamin region. The crash involved a ‘Palestinian’ vehicle and a truck.
Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency medical service, rushed to the scene but had to pronounce the man dead. He had suffered severe multi-system trauma.
MDA paramedics and medics treated another ‘Palestinian’ man in his 40s who was seriously injured but conscious. He was evacuated by Red Crescent crews to Arab communities. Two other people with light injuries were taken to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem.
ZAKA volunteers from the Samaria district’s Benjamin division were at the scene to handle the deceased with dignity and collect evidence. The circumstances of the accident are under investigation.
