A woman was killed and three other people were injured Wednesday in a collision between two vehicles near the southern moshav of Amatzia, medics said.
Paramedics found the 60-year-old woman unconscious and trapped in the front seat of her car, according to a statement from the Magen David Adom ambulance service. A 22-year-old woman with serious wounds and a 24-year-old man who suffered mild abdominal injuries were also in the vehicle.
Medics rescued the passengers and attempted to resuscitate the 60-year-old, but were forced to declare her dead at the scene, MDA said.
The other woman was put on a ventilator and sedated, then taken by military helicopter to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba.
The man and a 52-year-old man in the second vehicle, who also suffered mild abdominal injuries, were taken by ambulance to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
