Another Israeli killed abroad

A similar accident last month resulted in the death of a 27-year-old Israeli woman on the Greek island of Santorini.

In that incident, the ATV reportedly overturned after veering to the right and hitting a tree in Kamari. Greek police also said that her partner was hospitalized after being lightly injured.
