A man was found lifeless on Friday evening in a burning vehicle on Route 505 in Samaria, near the Ma'ale Ephraim Junction.
Firefighters who arrived at the scene worked to extract the man from the vehicle and extinguish the fire. Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced him dead.
Senior MDA medic Eran Abu said, "When we arrived at the scene, we saw the burnt vehicle and a man unconscious, without a pulse or breathing. We performed medical tests, and unfortunately, we had to pronounce him dead at the scene."
The Israel Police later stated that based on the findings of an investigation at the scene, the vehicle involved was a Palestinian Arab car that was involved in a solo-vehicle accident, which led to the vehicle catching fire.
Traffic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
