The number of wounded in a fatal traffic collision on Road 98 in the southern Golan Heights has risen to nine, N12 reports. The deceased, a man approximately 35 years old, was found unconscious inside a crushed vehicle and extricated by firefighters. An earlier MDA report had counted five wounded; the updated figure reflects additional injuries as emergency services continue assessing the scene.
The number of wounded in the fatal crash on Road 98 in the southern Golan Heights has risen to nine, according to an updated report from N12, citing Magen David Adom (MDA) sources. The deceased, a man approximately 35 years old, was found unconscious inside a crushed vehicle and extricated by firefighters. Among the nine wounded, one is in moderate condition and eight sustained light injuries, MDA reported.
In rapid succession at 16:02 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published three updates from the scene: an initial MDA report of a collision between a minibus and a private car, with one killed and five wounded; a correction from MDA updating the vehicle types to two private cars and raising the wounded count to nine; and a subsequent MDA bulletin detailing the conditions of the wounded, which at that point listed five injured. The later N12 report confirmed the nine-wounded figure, consistent with the corrected count.
As The Zioneer has reported on recent traffic accidents on major regional routes, including a fatal car-truck collision on Route 90 in the Negev and a multi-vehicle crash south of the Sea of Galilee, Road 98 in the Golan Heights remains a critical north-south artery known for winding sections. Fatal accidents on such routes often prompt discussions about infrastructure safety.
The identity of the deceased has not been released pending notification of next of kin. The circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by Israeli authorities.
