A Car Accident Near Rehovot Brings Israel's Road Casualty Toll to 376

"Six people were killed, four of them children, in collisions on Sunday that police blamed partially on roads made slippery by the rain...

...a 60-year-old woman was killed and three others seriously injured near Rehovot when a driver attempted to overtake the vehicle in front of him by crossing a solid white line and collided with another car coming from the opposite direction.

Sunday's deaths brought the annual casualty toll on Israel's roads to 376 - within three of the death toll at the same point last year and a serious slap in the face to traffic police, who had claimed that this year's death rate would be significantly lower than last year's."
