A man and woman in their 50s were killed early Wednesday morning in a serious collision between a private car and a truck on Route 1, near the Almog Junction in the Dead Sea area.<\/p>\n
Magen David Adom (MDA) teams arriving at the scene pronounced both victims dead.<\/p>\n
Firefighters from the Binyamin district took part in the rescue operation, which was prolonged and complex. Firefighter commander Tzachi Ben Aharon, who commanded the shift, described, “This was a difficult and complicated scene, during which we needed to conduct an extended extraction operation due to the force of the crash.”<\/p>\n
“Throughout the extraction, we worked in coordination with medical teams, but in the end, they were left with no choice but to pronounce the victims’ death.”<\/p>\n
