March 12, 2021   

The driver of the vehicle that perished early yesterday morning, when the vehicle's engine caught fire while driving near the Nachshonim Interchange on Highway 471, is the late David Moshe Aryeh Dinari, a 30-year-old Chabad follower, a resident of Petah Tikva. In Israel, speeding is the norm: Why do we drive fast?

The deceased, Z"l, studied in Chabad yeshivahs. His friends tell Haredim 10 about a student who was "a genius. He had a bomb-like mind.".

His funeral will leave today (Friday) at 2:30 PM, from the Segula Funeral Home in Petah Tikva, where he will be buried.

Sitting 'sheva' at the home of his parents, Rabbi Shmuel and Amalia Dinari, on Aryeh Ben Eliezer Street in Petah Tikva.

The accident occurred at around 4:00 a.m. on Thursday, near the Sha'ariya interchange towards the Nachshonim interchange. Fire and rescue forces that arrived at the scene managed to bring the fire under control, but the driver of the vehicle was rescued with no signs of life. The rescue forces that arrived at the scene had no choice but to declare him dead at the scene. An initial investigation by the fire department revealed the suspicion that the fire broke out due to a gas leak from a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank in the vehicle, and that there were also oxygen tanks and another LPG tank in the vehicle. Ze'evi Fishman, a United Hatzalah medic, said: "According to passersby, the vehicle began to catch fire while driving. Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead after the fire department completed its operations." Shalom Klein and Azriel Schnitzer, ZAKA volunteers: "This is a shocking case. A private vehicle that apparently caught fire while driving on the highway. When we arrived at the scene, firefighters fought the flames and after extinguishing the fire, we found the driver of the vehicle dead with multiple systemic injuries. An MDA paramedic confirmed his death.” ZAKA volunteers from the Sharon area team treated the deceased with dignity at the difficult scene. The deceased's body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute for further examination and identification - where, as stated, his body was identified. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated by the police.
