A 16-year-old boy was killed in a car crash this morning after the vehicle he was traveling in veered off Route 90 near Masada, in southern Israel.

Paramedics say the teen sustained severe head trauma and had no pulse by the time they reached him and the totaled car, in an open area next to the highway.

Three other passengers were injured in the crash and have been taken to hospitals by helicopter.

A 17-year-old boy is in serious condition, sedated and put on a ventilator, while two men in their 20s are in moderate condition, the Magen David Adom emergency service says.
