Yisrael Levin, the groom who was killed last week in a tragic car crash along with his fiancee, was laid to rest in Beit Shemesh Sunday evening.

Levin was killed last week together with his fiancee Elisheva Kaplan in a car crash in Inwood, New York that shook the US Jewish community. While Kaplan was buried in New York, Levin was laid to rest in Beit Shemesh next to his older brother, who passed away several years ago.

The couple had become engaged just a few weeks ago and were to be married in two months.

Five vehicles were involved in the accident. Police suspect that some of those involved in the accident were drunk. Eyewitnesses also reported that there was heavy fog in the area where the accident occurred, which may have been another cause of the tragic accident.
