The Ministry, via the Israeli Embassy in Bucharest, and the Department for Israelis Abroad, will be assisting in the return of the body to Israel as well as the other hospitalized Israelis.
The car transporting the Israeli citizens crashed into another car coming from the opposite direction at one of the Bucharest’s city entrances.
Romanian police reported that the driver of the car in which the Israelis were traveling did not give right of way to the opposite vehicle and crashed into it. The accident occurred at the crossroads between Bucharest’s ring road and Splaiul Independentei.

Two of the injured had reportedly dragged themselves out of the water on their own and were rushed to hospitals in Bucharest along with their friends.
