Four people were killed R”L in a head-on vehicular collision on Route 772 from Kiryat Ata towards Zevulun Junction.

The accident occurred on Motzei Shabbos and two of the people were killed immediately while the others died during the night of their critical injuries. Another victim remains in moderate-to-light condition.

Officials in Rambam Medical Center reported the injured arrived in very serious condition and despite efforts by the trauma team they ultimately had to pronounce the two dead of their massive injuries.

MDA paramedic Chen Lany explains the head-on collision was very serious and the occupants were trapped in the vehicles due to the force of the collision. A man in his 60s was taken out of one vehicle and he was transported by paramedics with abdominal injuries. A woman in her 60s was extricated from a driver’s seat in very serious condition from multi-system trauma. Another male, about 70, was in traumatic cardiac arrest and arrived at the trauma center in grave condition. A woman about 40 year extricated from a rear seat, also listed in serious condition. The less seriously wounded person was in a third vehicle that was somehow involved in the head-on, albeit far less seriously.
