A 15-year-old boy was killed overnight, between Monday and Tuesday, in a car rollover on Highway 40 near Beersheba. Magen David Adom teams were called to the scene and pronounced him dead there.

A second victim, a man about 20 years old, was injured moderately and taken to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba. The crash happened after the vehicle overturned.

MDA paramedic Itzik Yanai said the boy was found unconscious, with no pulse and no breathing, and with very severe injuries. “We carried out medical examinations, but unfortunately his injuries were significant and all we could do was pronounce him dead,” he said. He added that the crew treated the man in his 20s and evacuated him to the hospital.
