Israeli medical student killed in Romania car crash

An Israeli man was killed and four others were injured overnight Tuesday in a car accident outside the Romanian capital of Bucharest, Israel’s Foreign Ministry says.

Mohammad Jibril, a 23-year-old medical student from Lod, was killed after the car he was in collided with a truck just outside of Bucharest.

After the collision, the car swerved into Lake Dâmbovița next to the road. The four other passengers traveling in the car managed to climbed out of the vehicle before it sank.

The Foreign Ministry says the Israeli consul in Bucharest is helping the family bring Jibril’s body back to Israel for burial.
