Police say a man suspected of carrying out a hit-and-run accident in the West Bank and a female passenger who was with him have turned themselves in.

Their vehicle earlier hit a motorcycle on Route 5502 near the settlement of Zufim in the West Bank.

One of the two victims, a man in his 40s died of his wounds, the hospital says. A second passenger is lightly hurt.

Police and the army ruled out early suspicions that the incident was a car-ramming attack.
