Yotam Avitan, a graduate of Himmelferb High School in Jerusalem, was killed Saturday night in a serious road accident on Route 465, near the village of Deir Abu Mishal in the Benjamin region. The collision involved a truck and two other vehicles. Avitan was trapped inside his car, which had become lodged under the truck's trailer.

Emergency medical personnel who arrived at the scene conducted medical examinations but were forced to declare Avitan deceased. "This was a severe road accident between a truck and a private vehicle," MDA paramedics reported. "Inside the vehicle, we saw a man unconscious and suffering from very severe injuries."

Firefighters from the Benjamin regional station worked to extract the trapped individual using specialized equipment. Moni Ben Zion, who commanded the rescue operations, described the scene as "difficult," noting the complexity and time required for the extraction due to the nature of the accident and the trapped victim's position.

In addition to Avitan's death, two other individuals sustained moderate and light injuries and were evacuated by the Red Crescent. The exact circumstances of the crash are under investigation.
