The number of wounded in Sunday afternoon's fatal crash on Road 98 in the southern Golan Heights has risen to 9, according to N12, as firefighters extricated the deceased, a man approximately 35 years old, from a crushed vehicle. This update follows a sequence of reports from emergency services.
The first report from Magen David Adom (MDA) at 16:02 Jerusalem stated that a man aged about 35 was killed and five others were injured in a collision between a minibus and a private car near the Afik junction. Shortly afterward, at 16:02 Jerusalem, MDA corrected the vehicle types to two private cars and raised the casualty count to one killed and nine wounded. In a subsequent update, also timestamped 16:02 Jerusalem, MDA detailed the conditions of the wounded: one man in moderate condition with limb injuries and four lightly wounded. The deceased remained unidentified pending notification of kin.
The incident occurred on Road 98, a major north-south artery in the Golan Heights known for its winding sections. Fatal accidents on this route have prompted past discussions about road safety infrastructure in the region, as The Zioneer previously reported.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, and the circumstances of the crash remain under investigation.
