Two people were killed this evening in a car crash between a truck and a passenger vehicle on Route 6 near Petah Tikva.

Eyewitnesses say a Kia Picanto crashed into a truck while traveling north on Route 6, just after the Qesem interchange. Half of the compact car and the two passengers inside were trapped underneath the truck. Paramedics declared both dead at the scene.

Route 6 northbound and the Qasem exit on Route 5 have been blocked to all traffic. Police are urging drivers in the area to use alternate routes.
