Nadav Bukovza, 3 months old, was killed Thursday overnight when the car his family was traveling in slammed into a pole near the Tashor junction in southern Israel.
Five others members of Bukovza's family were taken to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, varying in their condition from moderate to serious.
The baby was extracted from the vehicle badly injured and paramedics attempted to resuscitate him, but he suffered a serious head injury and died shortly thereafter.
In another accident Thursday overnight, a truck driver carrying peach crates overturned on Road 886 in the Upper Galilee. Paramedics arriving on the scene called firefighters to assist in sawing the truck in half and removing the crates under which the driver, 24, was buried.
They pronounced him dead on the scene. A preliminary investigation concluded that the driver most likely lost control of his vehicle while making a sharp turn at a high speed.
