A 35-year-old man was killed, and nine people were wounded in a car accident near the Afik Intersection along Highway 98 in the Golan Heights, Magen David Adom announced on Sunday.
The crash involved a minibus and a private car, MDA noted, with the wounded being evacuated to a hospital, including a 30-year-old man in moderate condition.
"Firefighters worked at a difficult and complex scene to rescue the trapped man using hydraulic equipment and transfer him to medical personnel," an Israel Fire and Rescue Authority commander said at the scene. "Firefighters worked to search for additional casualties and to clear the scene."
MDA paramedics described the crash as a "serious car accident," noting their attempts to save the deceased victim.
"We performed medical examinations, but unfortunately his injuries were significant, and we had no choice but to declare him dead," they said. "At the same time, we provided advanced medical treatment to nine additional injured people who were moderately or lightly injured and evacuated them to the hospital in stable condition."

The crash in the North follows an accident on Wednesday involving a jeep, which overturned in the West Bank, severely injuring a 17-year-old girl and moderately wounding two others: a 15-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman.
Seven additional female passengers were lightly wounded in the crash, which occured during a field trip, with an MDA paramedic describing the experience on scene.
"When we arrived at the scene, we noticed the jeep upside down in a ditch," the paramedic said. "We immediately began performing initial examinations and life-saving first aid to 9 victims with varying degrees of injury and evacuated them by MDA-Rescue Air helicopter with intensive care units and ambulances together with IDF medical forces to hospitals."
Another MDA paramedic noted the critical condition of the 17-year-old victim, saying she suffered "multiple systemic injuries."
"After we rescued her, we provided her with life-saving medical treatment that included anesthesia and ventilation and evacuated her by MDA-Rescue Air helicopter to the hospital in critical condition," he said.
