A 23-year-old Israeli was killed Saturday after the car he was traveling in overturned in Argentina, Israel's Foreign Ministry reported Sunday. 

Three other Israelis were also involved in the road accident near the town of Esquel. One of them remains hospitalized in the southern town, close to Argentina's border with Chile. 

Argentinian media has reported the driver likely lost control of the car due to heavy winds. 

The Foreign Ministry said the man's family had been notified. It is in contact with the Israeli embassy in Argentinian capital Buenos Aires about returning his body to Israel. 

According to the Chabad House in Bariloche, the Israeli is Amir Gueta from Nahariya. He and his friends were on a post-army trip to South America after being released from the IDF.
