Van driver said to ignore stop sign, causing fatal West Bank crash

Hebrew media reports says the driver of the van hit by a truck in the fatal West Bank traffic accident was to blame for the crash and for the high number of victims.

The reports say the van, which can hold five people, was packed with 10 Palestinian workers returning to their homes.

The driver ignored a stop sign when turning left from Route 90 toward the settlement of Petza’el, entering the junction just as the truck was arriving at full speed, the reports say, following footage of the accident published on social media.
