An American family travelling on Highway 1 was involved in a serious crash on Friday afternoon.

It happened at around 1:00PM in the area of Sha’ar HaGai heading towards Jerusalem, when the vehicle they were travelling in collided with a Brinks truck.

United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom responded and treated the victims, some of whom needed to be extricated from the vehicle.

Magen David Adom transported four victims to Hadassa Ein Kerem and Shaarei Tzedek Hospitals, two of them (mother and a son) with serious injuries. They were being taken into emergency surgeries as Shabbos was starting in Eretz Yisroel.

Please say Tehillim for:

• Yitzchok ben Devorah Chana
• Devorah Chana bas Chaya Perel.
