An Israeli woman was killed and four Israelis were injured in a crash in Panama Wednesday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was traveling in a minivan with the other tourists when it crashed into a parked bus on a highway at the outskirts of La Chorrera at 5:30 a.m., according to local reports and Hebrew media.
The injured Israelis were transferred to a local hospital for treatment, where two were listed in serious condition and two in moderate condition.
Immediately upon hearing the news report, the international division of Israel’s ZAKA search and rescue organization contacted ZAKA Panama, which dispatched its team to the crash site and the hospital, according to Hebrew media.
ZAKA Panama is working with Israel’s Foreign Ministry to ship the woman’s remains home for burial in Israel.
