Three people were killed after their cars crashed along Route 6 close to the southern city of Kiryat Gat in Israel on Thursday.

A man and a woman in their 40s and a man in his 30s were pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials found the cars crushed at the scene together with the three passengers, who were all unconscious and not breathing.
