Pregnant woman dies in car crash

A woman in her seventh month of pregnancy was killed in a car crash Sunday night, and doctors were unable to save her unborn child.

The woman was critically injured and a 40-year-old man suffered serious injuries when the commercial vehicle they were riding in collided head on with a truck on route 4115 between Mazkeret Batyah and Kibbutz Hulda.

The two victims were taken to Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot where the woman later succumbed to her injuries. The driver of the truck was not injured.
