A 40-year-old man was killed and five others were injured in a deadly head-on collision on Route 90, near Einot Tzukim (Ein Feshkha) Nature Reserve close to the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea on Thursday.
Magen David Adom rescue crews attempted to resuscitate the man, but were forced to pronounce him dead at the scene. A woman in her thirties and a 17-year-old boy were treated for moderate to light injuries and evacuated by helicopter to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem.
Three others were moderately injured and taken by ambulance to Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus.
Earlier this week, a 26-year-old was killed and two others moderately injured in a collision between two vehicles on Route 784, near Shorashim Junction in the eastern Galilee.
Earlier this month, a woman was seriously injured and nine others were lightly injured on Route 90 in a three-car pile-up due to limited visibility caused by fog.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
