In a bloody day on Israeli roads, four people were killed Saturday in vehicular crashes.
In Caesarea, a woman was critically wounded in a head-on collision with another vehicle, and was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital.
Police identified the woman as a 27-year-old resident of Be’er Yaakov.
The incident came after one person was killed and five others were wounded to varying degrees in a collision involving several vehicles, on a highway in the Golan Heights.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the victim, a 35-year-old man, was found with critical injuries in one of the cars and pronounced dead at the scene.

Police, who launched an investigation, said the motorcyclist — a 40-year-old resident of Tirat Carmel — apparently lost control of the vehicle for an unclear reason, causing him to collide with the barrier.
