Three people were killed early Thursday evening on Route 31, near Arad in the Negev, after their vehicle rolled over.
According to Maged David Adom, which arrived shortly after the crash, two of the victims died at the scene, and the third died while en route to the Soroka medical center in Beersheba. All three victims were in their 20s.
The road was temporarily closed due to the accident, and police opened an investigation into the cause. It was not immediately clear what caused the car to roll over.
Earlier Thursday on Route 508 in the West Bank, a truck driver was killed after his vehicle rolled over. The driver was injured and trapped inside the vehicle, but died before an emergency team was able to extract him.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
