Two people were killed in two separate traffic accidents in northern Israel on Friday.

A 30-year-old man was killed when his vehicle overturned between Sakhnin and Arabeh in the Galilee.

Earlier Friday, a 25-year-old pedestrian was killed when she was hit by a car in Tiberias.

Traffic Police investigators said the vehicle that hit the woman was rear-ended by another car as it slowed to take a left turn, and as a result was pushed into the woman. The driver of the vehicle that was struck suffered light injuries.

A Magen David Adom emergency medical team evacuated the pedestrian to Poriya Hospital in Tiberias, but she succumbed to her wounds.
