MDA paramedic Boaz Tzabri stated, "We quickly arrived at the scene and found a vehicle on fire. The firefighters who responded extinguished the car. Once the fire was out and it was safe to approach the vehicle, we discovered a person without any signs of life, and we declared him dead at the scene."
