A devastating car accident involving Israeli tourists near Silistra has left one woman dead and several others injured.

According to ZAKA spokesman Yisrael Chassid, the group had been traveling back from the kever of the Pele Yoetz when their vehicle was involved in a head-on collision with multiple cars. The group had been visiting the area as part of a Pesach vacation organized by a tourism company.

All injured were transported to local hospitals, where doctors fought to save the life of one of the victims. Tragically, a woman from Jerusalem was later pronounced dead.

ZAKA’s international division, together with Israel’s Foreign Ministry and the department for Israelis abroad, is assisting the families and working to arrange the transfer of the nifteres for kevurah in Israel as soon as possible.

Further details are expected to be released.
