A crash between two trucks Wednesday along the main highway connecting Tel Aviv to Jerusalem left one man dead and caused a major fire. Along the overlap between Route 6 and Route 1, a truck carrying flammable chemicals crashed with another truck that was hauling new cars, causing the Pentanol-laden truck to burst into flames.
Paramedics who arrived at the scene said the driver of the burning truck was trapped inside and could not be reached. It was later reported that he died as a result of his wounds.
