A 29-year-old resident of Yerushalayim was killed Wednesday in a traffic accident in Chișinău, the capital of Moldova.

According to reports, the young man lost control of his vehicle, which overturned into a ravine in the city. Emergency crews responded to the scene, extricated him from the wreckage, and pronounced him dead.

The international division of ZAKA has begun assisting the family and coordinating with local authorities to arrange for the niftar’s transfer to Eretz Yisroel for kevurah.

ZAKA said it immediately began working with local officials, family members, and the Jewish community in Moldova to handle the necessary procedures and expedite the release and transportation of the body.

Nachman Dickstein, commander of ZAKA Europe, said teams are assisting the family throughout the process while working to ensure the niftar is brought to kevurah in Israel as quickly and respectfully as possible.
