Third soldier injured in Route 6 crash dies of injures
A third IDF soldier injured in a deadly crash on Route 6 last week dies of his injuries, the hospital says.
Last week, two soldiers were killed and 10 others were injured when a truck hit three military vehicles on the central Route 6.
The truck driver, an East Jerusalem resident, is believed to have lost control of the vehicle before veering into the convoy of off-road vehicles as it traveled east of Netanya.
The soldiers were on their way south after completing training exercises in northern Israel.
Police and the IDF have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
