Driver Dies After Car Collides With Horse on Northern Highway

A fatal car accident occurred early Tuesday morning on Highway 65 near Ilabun in northern Israel, resulting in the death of a man in his 30s. The incident happened when the driver's vehicle apparently collided with a horse that was on the road.

Emergency medical services received a report at 5:57 AM and dispatched teams to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the driver trapped inside his heavily damaged car, suffering from severe, life-threatening injuries. Despite immediate medical assessment, the man was unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Paramedics described the scene as difficult and complex due to the force of the impact. They noted that the driver's injuries were too severe to attempt resuscitation or transport to a hospital. Emergency crews worked to secure the area, manage traffic disruptions, and assist other responding agencies.

The exact circumstances of the crash are still under investigation. The primary suspicion is that the vehicle struck a horse that had entered the roadway. Investigators will examine factors such as the vehicle's speed, road conditions, visibility, and how the horse came to be on the highway.
