Two people, a man and a woman both around 30 years old, were killed Saturday evening in a road accident involving two private vehicles on Route 6678 near Sde Eliyahu in the Beit She'an Valley. Emergency services, including Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and firefighters, responded to the scene. Firefighters worked to extricate the victims from the wreckage. MDA medics pronounced the two deceased due to severe, multi-system injuries. Three other individuals sustained moderate and light injuries. A woman, approximately 25 years old, was in moderate condition with multi-system injuries, while two others had minor injuries. All three injured were evacuated to HaEmek Hospital in Afula.
The police have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the crash. Northern District police officers and accident investigators were present at the scene, directing traffic. "We saw a vehicle overturned on its roof with a man and woman inside, unconscious, without pulse or breathing, with very severe injuries to their bodies," recounted an MDA volunteer doctor, Shimon Dayan, along with MDA motorcycle unit medic Natanel Shukron and MDA medic Tzvi Greenhut. "We performed medical checks but unfortunately, their injuries were significant, and we could only pronounce them dead. Simultaneously, we treated three other injured individuals in moderate and light condition." The commander of the firefighting forces at the scene, Reshef Almog Ohayon, stated, "We worked to rescue two trapped individuals from a private vehicle that overturned in a very severe road accident. Unfortunately, the two individuals we rescued from the vehicle were already lifeless upon our arrival."
